New social housing complex for New Brighton

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Social housing is returning to the east of Christchurch for the first time since the Canterbury earthquakes, with 19 new homes providing relief to residents in need.

The Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (ŌCHT) housing complex will be officially opened at a ceremony on Friday morning.

It's called Reg Stillwell Pl and is on Palmers Rd in New Brighton.

The complex includes 12 relocatable homes that were transported from Linwood Park in August. They have been refurbished as two, three and four-bedroom homes. Meanwhile, a community hall already on site is now a three-bedroom home, and a further six bedsits have been redeveloped into one-bedroom homes.

Some of the residents who will live at the complex are returnees; people who lived in the pre-refurbished homes, and wanted to come back after the work was completed.
