Community Housing – A Legal Guide
This free resource, updated in June 2026, covers key considerations that should be worked through in the provision of community housing here in Aotearoa.
Our team have a long history of assisting organisations with community housing. We have condensed all of the key things we have learned down into this guide, which traces the typical lifecycle of a community housing project and unpacks what is involved at each stage.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us.
