The Gift of Housing

A new Salvation Army housing development in Hamilton Kirikiriroa does more than provide families with housing. It also speaks to the difference that donations can make in the lives of others. Stable housing is one of the most important things for wellbeing and success—yet it’s something many Kiwi lack. A new Salvation Army development is helping provide Kiwi families with a warm, dry and safe place to live. The development, in the Nawton area of Hamilton Kirikiriroa, encompasses 31 units. The first 10 units have been completed, with tenants moving in before Christmas last year. The other 21 units are expected to be completed and ready for tenants by April. Director of Social Housing and Property Greg Foster says the units are made with structured integrated panels (SIP), which have particularly good insulation. This means the units—which also have heat pumps and double glazing—are warm and dry.
