Public and Community Housing Management Act 1992, Parts 8, 10
These include church and iwi organisations and housing trusts and foundations. They have to register with the Community Housing Regulatory Authority and meet the required standards. In June 2021, there were 60 organisations registered with the Authority. For a list of registered community housing providers, go to: www. chra.hud.govt.nz/about-chra/register
The Community Housing Regulatory Authority supervises and monitors community housing providers. It does this annually for each organisation, checking them against the performance standards they’re required to meet, and it will also investigate if there are complaints from tenants. The Authority can suspend or revoke an organisation’s registration if appropriate.
