Delivering affordable housing solutions across the Bay of Plenty.

In a significant development, the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand has witnessed the launch of a Housing Equity Fund, a pioneering initiative to tackle the region's pressing housing shortage.

This innovative financial instrument is designed to achieve a dual purpose: addressing the critical need for more housing in the area while ensuring a return on investment for stakeholders.

This balanced approach marks a forward-thinking strategy in social housing, melding commercial viability with community responsibility.

CEO of Bay Trust

“Across our region, our communities are saying that housing affordability is the number one issue they’re experiencing. This Fund has the ability to have more impact than anything we’ve done in BayTrust’s 30-year history.”
