The Government has launched a new housing fund that will help more Pacific aiga achieve the dream of home ownership.
Minister for Pacific Peoples says, “this will provide direct pathways for many of our Pacific aiga to enter into home ownership by putting Pacific communities at the forefront of the design and development of new, affordable homes.”
The $14.2million Fund will provide up to 25 percent of costs for those building a minimum of five homes for Pacific aiga, subject to conditions, and will prioritise developments on Pacific owned land and organisations working in partnership with Pacific communities.
Applications for the funding are currently being received by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples and interested parties have until 19 October to submit their applications.
“The Pacific Building Affordable Homes Fund will assist developers and other home builders to better understand the housing needs of our Pacific communities and ensure that viable options are available at an affordable rate,” says Minister Sio.
