The Salvation Army wants the Reserve Bank (RBNZ) to make it easier for banks to lend against residential property with alternative tenures.
In a
briefing to the Housing Minister, the charity said a “mature” housing market should have at least 20% of its stock comprised of alternative tenures like cooperative ownership, co-ownership, progressive ownership, community land trusts and build-to-rent set-ups.
It said New Zealand would benefit from a market that provided more “choice, amenity and affordability”.
The Salvation Army maintained the country s housing policy advisors had failed to look beyond the “dichotomy of private rental and public rental housing as the sources of housing for those on modest incomes”.
