Our services

Transitional Housing seeks to provide short term housing for people with high and complex housing needs. This service also provides a range of supports alongside housing to include budgeting, and support to find long term, safe and affordable housing. Tenants receive one on one support based on individual support plans. This goes to further our mission in supporting holistic wellness.

Penina also developed New Zealand’s first Pacific designed, multi-generational social housing project which is to begin construction in 2021. This is another step towards Penina developing housing across the full continuum to scaffold community through housing options as our people reach their full potential with the support of the Penina team.

If you have any questions about social housing, or transitional housing for yourself, or someone else that you are supporting please view our Frequently Asked Questions, and we hope this will answer some of your initial questions. Or, please get in touch with us and we will be able to find a team member to support you with your enquiry.

On 7 March 2017 Penina obtained registration as a “Class 1 Social Landlord” from the Community Housing Regulatory Authority.

As such Penina is now able to work with people on the Ministry of Social Development’s Housing List who are seeking long term affordable property on which they only have to pay income related rent.
