Habitat for Humanity (Northland) is a not-for-profit organisation with the ultimate goal of eliminating poverty housing.
About Us
Habitat for Humanity (Northland) was founded in January 1995. Our first house was dedicated in December of that year. Since then, we have helped build 36 homes. We currently support 25 families from Waipu in the south, to Kaitaia in the north, to Dargaville in the West and lots of places in between.
Housing Need In Northland
Habitat’s vision to eliminate substandard housing by building simple, decent houses and then selling them on an affordable basis continues to be as relevant in Northland today as when we started here in 1995. It is a region that has high unemployment, a poor economic base, and many families living in poverty. Northland, particularly in its rural areas, is regarded as one of the areas of NZ in the greatest need of improved housing with many substandard houses lacking adequate heating and insulation.
For most families assisted by Habitat their previous housing experience has been little more than a roof over their heads – a combination of paying high rent for substandard accommodation; or living in a shack, sheds or caravans; or sharing a place with other family members in an overcrowded situation.
Habitat for Humanity is an international not-for-profit organisation. The ultimate goal of Habitat for Humanity is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the face of the earth by building adequate and basic housing.
Get Involved
Looking for a way to get involved and help your local community? Or perhaps you are looking for a holiday with a real purpose?
Habitat relies heavily on the generosity of our volunteers who give us their time to help build homes with our partner families. There are a number of ways that you can get involved, both in New Zealand, and overseas through our Global Village programme.
Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is a great way to learn new skills, meet new people and give back to the community.
