Key to the planning of this initiative was the formation of a significant relationship between ZION and Habitat for Humanity. Already deeply invested in Te Awamutu through social housing projects such as the Freeman Court and Palmer Street pensioner housing, Habitat have embraced the vision of the church and are excited to see such an innovative offering to the market.
Habitat for Humanity Central Region CEO Nic Greene said this could help many local whanau achieve their housing aspirations, and was one of many similar scale projects underway across the region.
“This is being made possible through the leadership of ZION, the contribution of their land and the experience that Habitat brings with the provision of affordable housing.”
“This is an incredible opportunity for Te Awamutu.”
