The vision 

The GPS-HUD’s vision is that everyone in New Zealand lives in a home and a community that meets their needs and aspirations. 

The four main things it sets out to achieve are: 

Thriving and resilient communities 

The places where people live are accessible and connected to employment, education, social and cultural opportunities. They grow and change well within environmental limits, support our culture and heritage and are resilient.  

Wellbeing through housing 

Everyone lives in a home, whether it’s rented or owned, that is warm, dry, safe, stable and affordable, with access to the support they need to live healthy, successful lives.  

Māori housing through partnership 

Māori and the Crown work together in partnership so all whānau have safe, healthy, affordable and stable homes. Māori housing solutions are led by Māori and are delivered locally. Māori can use their own assets and whenua Māori to invest in and support housing solutions.  

An adaptive and responsive system 

Land-use change, infrastructure and housing supply is responsive to demand, well planned and well regulated.
