KCDC Affordable Housing Trust Board Appointments
Kapiti Coast
He Angitūtanga: The opportunity
Kāpiti Coast District Council is currently establishing a trust to support the ongoing provision of social and affordable housing across the district. This new entity is intended to improve overall affordability, housing access, wellbeing for social housing tenants, add much-needed housing supply on the Coast, and to create partnerships in the development and delivery of housing.
The entity will be an independent, charitable housing trust, with Council, mana whenua and independent representation on the board. Once established, the Trust will seek to provide relevant, holistic services for members across the housing continuum. The exact scope of its remit will follow the formal transfer of responsibilities - from KCDC to the Trust - at an agreed future point.
This is an opportunity to contribute to the establishment of a significant not-for-profit organisation focused on making a meaningful difference to some of our most vulnerable people.
