New Zealand PM opens Army housing complex in Auckland

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern officially opened a Salvation Army housing complex, Te Hononga Tangata in Royal Oak in Auckland late last year.

Designed to give people the security of a home while also growing a community, the 50-unit apartment block includes spacious one and two-bedroom apartments, green spaces, a community garden, and ‘bump spaces’ – areas where people will naturally meet each other. A hall, including an office for a tenancy manager and chaplain, is also part of the complex.

The Salvation Army will continue to offer a range of wraparound services for the tenants. It had more than 700 referrals for the unit – an indication of the huge demand for social housing in Auckland, and throughout Aotearoa.
