The Centre for Housing Research,
Aotearoa New Zealand, (“CHRANZ”) has made
further investments into much needed housing research.
“Our goal is to address the research needs and
gaps in the total New Zealand housing market”,
says CHRANZ Manager, Terrence Aschoff.
“The
latest research commissioned by CHRANZ is seen as a
strategic investment,” says Mr. Aschoff. It is
expected that the recommendations required from this
research will provide the basis for a two to three year
strategic housing research programme that is relevant
to housing sector stakeholders. The programme will contribute
towards CHRANZ growing investment into housing research
and informing New Zealand’s housing policy and
practice over the next five years.
