Kāinga Ora sells 36-home site in Strathmore to private market
What happened
Kāinga Ora is selling the Nuku Street site, which contains 36 homes, onto the private market. The sale is set to close by October 21. The land had been empty for three years while Kāinga Ora paused redevelopment plans. This sale occurs while over 600 households in Wellington are waiting for public housing.

Why it matters
The sale shifts state housing assets to private developers. This action is part of a larger housing plan approved by the Government in Wellington. Opponents argue that selling state housing to private developers may result in homes that communities cannot afford.
The Government previously approved a housing plan in Wellington, which involves the Wellington City Council and the Kāinga Ora Arlington development.
