Housing for Older Persons: Options Paper

The government has made significant changes to the way social housing is delivered across New Zealand following recommendations in 2010 by the Housing Shareholders Advisory Group. These changes have provided the Council with an opportunity to review ownership and deliver of the Council’s Housing for Older Persons. This Options Paper responds to the Council’s request to identify a range of alternative service delivery options, including sale, for the Council’s Housing for Older Persons activity. It will assist the Council to decide: 1. Should the Council continue to deliver housing for older persons? 2. If the Council continues to deliver this service, are there changes to that service? 3. If the Council does not continue to delivery social housing for older persons, what are the options for discontinuing this service?
