The Housing Minister's working to strengthen our community housing sector with a new loan scheme. The Government will take on some of the risk of bank loans to eligible community housing providers. It says the move should lead to more social homes with better lending conditions and lower priced loans. Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking Kāinga Ora currently borrows through the Government's low rates, which gives them a competitive advantage. He's trying to create a housing system that delivers warm and dry social houses, no matter who owns them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Queenstown's underlying infrastructure is unable to keep up with the rapidly growing tourism and population numbers. The town's infrastructure can't cope with international arrivals 28% higher than in 2019, and the population has doubled every 17 years in the last four decades. Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust Chief Executive Julie Scott says they're a smaller community who needs a lot of infrastructure they can't afford. She says they need the tools to enable them to have an equitable share in how infrastructure is paid for. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Producer/Hosts: Ron Beard and Liz Graves Theme music for Talk of the Towns Theme is a medley from Coronach, on a Balnain House Highland Music recording. Talk of the Towns: Local Community concerns and opportunities This month: What are some of the ways that people end up without homes? What are their stories? We know that solving the problem requires two connected strategies: providing people with housing and providing services that help them with physical and mental health, employment, transportation, and other concerns– why is it proving so difficult to put these strategies in place? What is the role of shelters, and other temporary housing solutions, and who provides them? What is the role of Community Housing of Maine and the network of other providers of housing and services?

A community housing provider says the government is taking far too long to allocate the 1500 social homes it announced nine months ago, and the hold up is stalling desperately needed homes. Dwell Housing Trust chief executive Elizabeth Lester spoke to Corin Dann.

A community housing provider says the government's "turnaround plan" aimed at reducing Kainga Ora's debt will increase homelessness. Wellington-based Dwell Housing Trust chief executive Elizabeth Lester spoke to Corin Dann.

There's confidence from the wool sector that Kainga Ora will learn the value of wool carpets. The social housing agency's back-tracking on a previous ban after using synthetic carpets for more than a decade. It will now allow wool carpet providers to tender for carpet and underlay contracts. Campaign for Wool general manager Kara Biggs told Andrew Dickens there's an opportunity to show Kainga Ora how wool can compete on price and value now. She says that wool is natural, flame resistant, warmer, and more absorbent, which means it's a better and healthier alternative for those in community housing.

A new half percent tax on real estate purchases in Southampton and East Hampton towns went into effect on April 1, 2023, to raise revenue for affordable housing initiatives. Since then, each town has accumulated millions of dollars to combat the region's housing crisis. At this Express Sessions discussion, a panel of elected officials and housing advocates assessed how successful the Community Housing Fund has been at tackling a seemingly insurmountable task and discuss the promise the fund holds for the future. In this Sessions Report podcast, Express New Group Publisher Gavin Menu, Executive Editor Joseph Shaw and Managing Editor Bill Sutton share the main takeaways from the discussion.

Three years ago, the Town of Gander bought a de-consecrated Pentecostal church. Then, to find out what to do with it, council asked for proposals from the community. The winning pitch is "New Beginnings," a project run by the local Housing and Homelessness Hub. Kim Beers is the chairperson of the Hub, and she spoke with the CBC's Leigh Anne Power.

Queenstown seems to be in a losing battle on affordable housing as its average property value crosses more than two million dollars.  That's a 50% increase on 2019.  The district's wait list for affordable homes has crossed 13-hundred eligible local families.  And tourism operators have turned to buying empty hotels to house workers in.  Community Housing Trust Chief Executive Julie Scott told Mike Hosking Airbnbs continue to be a major contributing issue.  She says visitor accommodation is having long-term impacts on rental properties, with 27% of Queenstown homes unoccupied.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A former community housing leader says those providers are ready to collaborate with the Government.   Kainga Ora chief executive Andrew McKenzie has resigned, saying the Government's changes aren't what he signed up for.   It comes after a scathing review of the organisation.   Former Monte Cecilia Housing Trust CEO Bernie Smith told Mike Hosking that the last Government stopped community housing providers buying houses from developers, but did it themselves.   He says time and time again first home owners were locked out of the market because Kainga Ora came along with a big chequebook.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, I introduce a new endeavor I've been secretly burrowing away at. It's called ECOPIA and it's my ultimate dream project. ECOPIA's mission is to create child-centric properties that are built and designed for families to raise children together, as it's meant to be done, in groups (and with all the eco-friendly, zero-emissions, zero-waste features an apartment could need!) Modern parenting is deeply broken. Parents are more burned out, lonely, and stressed than ever before. Childcare is painfully expensive. The systems for daycare, play-dates, maternal support, afterschool care, and activities are profoundly inefficient. What should be the happiest moments of a parent's life are often steamrolled by stressful duties we could design around: near-constant death prevention (cars, falls, poisons, sharp things, running off etc) and being a daily taxi service. Parenting is hard, largely, because the architecture is broken. Suburban homes were made for a different time when housing was cheap, marriages were conventional, and women had an average of four children – all of whom could play together in a backyard. Alternatively, apartments are built cheaply for profit - not for kids or mothers. By taking a child-centric lens to apartment buildings, we can create supportive communities that center around safe places for children to play in groups with the amenities that parents need. They say "It takes a village" for a reason. It does. That's why I'm putting my best effort forward to build the village we've always needed.

Housing Minister Chris Bishop is putting Kāinga Ora, under the microscope with rapidly growing debt of more than $12 billion. He says he's also received worrying and commercially sensitive advice about the government landlord's financial situation. This, as the waitlist for housing rises above 25,000 households. Community Housing Aotearoa chief executive Paul Gilberd spoke to Charlotte Cook.

Friday Night Talk - Congratulations to Cape Elizabeth Winners and Community Housing by Cynthia Dill

From the Ingles Studio this is your news minute on the Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast presented by Dayco Systems. Today is Monday, November 6thand I'm Keith Ippolito. Cherokee County Leaders and Residents Discuss Affordable Housing Cherokee County held the Cherokee Regional Housing Forum to address the need for more affordable housing. Community stakeholders discussed housing needs and solutions in the county. The consensus was to hold more forums and programs in the future to explore ways to address housing needs effectively. The forum discussed a new workforce housing project, Franklin Crossing, featuring 57 affordable units under construction. These units will serve residents making 40%, 60%, or 80% of the area median income. Monthly rent will be much lower than similar housing products in the area. The development received housing tax credits and is expected to be completed in the fall of 2024. Canton is also involved in addressing affordable and attainable housing in the city through the Georgia Initiative for Community Housing program, among other initiatives. The county is planning to hold housing forums quarterly to continue addressing the housing needs of the community. For more news about our community, visit tribuneledgernews.com.
