Alternative tenure models

This research will investigate whether tenure models used overseas are applicable in a New Zealand context and whether they could provide opportunities to improve access to affordable good quality housing with long term security of tenure so that we can better meet our legal obligations under the United Nation conventions we have signed. The project will also investigate the potential application of different models to meet households needs as they age and at the different pressure points along the housing continuum.
