Overview

The Government has agreed funding to support Better Housing Outcome initiatives over the next two years. This Request for Proposals concentrates on the Sustaining Tenancies initiative. The initiative will support community based organisations to deliver services to improve the outcomes of vulnerable people with complex or multiple issues that jeopardise their ability to sustain a Social Housing tenancy. Funding is $5 million over two years across the three service areas of Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch with the expectation of providing support to approximately 1000 tenant households.

We encourage proposals from organisations with experience in:
• Providing services or navigating within multiple agencies for services that can support people to stay in their house without risk of having their tenancy terminated or leaving social housing with poor social outcomes and can, in time, maintain a tenancy on their own.
• Knowledge of residential tenancy management; in particular knowledge of the Residential Tenancies Act and practical understanding and experience of issues that can lead to a breach the Act and put social housing tenancies at risk.
• Working with people from the identified target group who have complex or multiple needs.

The tenants will be identified by the Ministry of Social Development and Housing New Zealand who have complex or multiple issues or extreme behaviours that may affect their ability to sustain their tenancy.

Funding of $5 million will support around 1,000 tenants in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch over two years.
