Inclusionary Housing
What is it and why should we take it seriously?
A Pathway Forward in Aotearoa New Zealand
Tuesday 20th February 2024
In this webinar, Deputy CEO of Community Housing Aotearoa Chris Glaudel, discussed the ‘what, why and how’ of Inclusionary Housing in Aotearoa, and how it offers a positive pathway forward out of our country’s housing crisis.
Affordable healthy homes are at the heart of strong communities. Like clean water, like hospitals, like transport, they are essential infrastructure in the lives of our people. And yet, a lack of affordable healthy housing is one of the biggest challenges facing Aotearoa today.
Done well, inclusionary housing is a powerful lever to address our affordable housing shortage.
