Housing New Zealand Ltd.
Housing New Zealand Corporation is a Crown agency that helps New Zealanders access housing. Services include the provision of good quality affordable rental homes and assistance to purchase homes for low income earners or those with special housing needs. Housing New Zealand is also the principal advisor to the Government on housing.
For people with physical disabilities who require modified housing Housing New Zealand has an advisory service called 'Suitable Homes'. To access this service the person needs to live in New Zealand, have a long term disability and require structural modifications to the home. The person does not need to be a Housing New Zealand tenant - it can be their own home or a rented home. The service also helps people with physical disabilities find homes that suit their needs. If modifications are required or the person needs to move to a new home an occupational therapist will assess the persons needs in relation to housing. If the person is eligible for funding through MOH or ACC the occupational therapist will make an application for housing modifications. The occupational therapist will also provide information on other sources of funding if the person is unable to afford the cost of modifications.
