The NZCCSS Housing and Support Providers Tool draws together an extensive range of publicly available information on community housing across the motu.
Want to know who the Community Housing Providers are in your region? Want to know which support providers offer services to the elderly, or families, or youth? Want to see the bigger picture of housing provision versus the Housing Register? It’s all in the NZCCSS Housing and Support Providers Tool.
Drawing together an extensive range of publicly available information on community housing across the motu, the Tool is designed to make it easier for providers of services to connect and collaborate.
The development of the Tool came about through our own desire to know who is doing what and where in the community housing sector. While there are deeply useful databases in existence, our search revealed that no such centralised resource was available.
The NZCCSS Housing and Support Providers Tool corrals data from 200 services providers, which can be configured into user-customised tables and charts displaying providers, location, types of services and specialist demographics throughout the country.
The Tool is delivered via a downloadable Excel file and incorporates the data of:
- Community Housing Providers (CHPs)
- providers of Emergency and Transitional housing
- Housing First facilitators
- financial and support programme coordinators
- builders
- consultants
While we all know that there’s no easy solution to the housing challenges in Aotearoa, what we do know is that the innovations needed to make real inroads will take a collaborative effort.
Our hope is that the NZCCSS Housing and Support Providers Tool will help fuel that collaboration and, ultimately, the innovation that will see significant progress in addressing housing insecurity.
We plan to provide regular six-monthly updates. Please contact us with any suggestions, additions and corrections for future versions at: [email protected]
