Kāinga Ora to Sell 36 Social Homes in Wellington Suburb of Strathmore
What happened
Kāinga Ora is selling 36 social homes located in the suburb of Strathmore, which is within the greater Wellington area. The units have been vacant for up to six years. Sarah Willson, the regional director for greater Wellington, stated that after assessing the options, building new social housing on the site was not financially viable.

Why it matters
The properties had reached the end of their life, and a deadline sale was scheduled for October 21. The announcement follows a nationwide reset of the agency, which previously had planned a development of 49 homes on a different site.
