  INVESTMENT IN DEVELOPING HOUSING RESEARCH CAPACITY
   

CHRANZ aims to develop and increase the capacity and capability of researchers to make a sustained contribution to quality housing research in the future by providing financial support for postgraduate students and community housing organisations and individuals to work on housing related research.

When assessing grant applications, CHRANZ refers to its current research programme that consists of two key strands:

  1. The New Zealand Housing System: This includes the future of homeownership, affordable housing, and housing stock suitability.
  2. Linking Housing and Social, Cultural, Economic and Environmental Outcomes: This includes investigating connections between housing, labour markets and education and the development of sustainable settlements.
