Capital and Power in the Governance of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Community Housing Sector
This article examines governance in publicly funded community housing organizations in Aotearoa New Zealand. Drawing on qualitative research with six agencies, we analyse who exercises power and influence, how authority is legitimized, and the implications for representation and accountability. Using Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital, and habitus we show how CHP governance privileges technical and professional forms of capital, with members e…
Impact of housing improvements on childhood hospitalization rates in a large cohort of low-income families in New Zealand
The global burden of disease arising from exposure to inadequate housing is a significant public health concern. In New Zealand over 25,000 children are hospitalized annually with preventable housing-related conditions, with Māori and Pacific children particularly at risk. The Healthy Homes Initiative (HHI) is a community-led, government-funded, multicomponent intervention aimed at improving health outcomes for children at risk of housing-related…
The association between social housing concentration and the education and health outcomes of social housing tenants
In New Zealand, and globally, concerns that living in areas of concentrated social housing will depress the outcomes of its tenants have led to policy directives to limit the proportion of social housing in any one community. This study explores the rationale for these initiatives through the innovative use of administrative linked data for 200,000 New Zealand social housing tenants. We analyse associations between the concentration of social hou…
Cultivating wellbeing
Placemaking for tenant wellbeing
Public and community housing providers face high demand and tight financial constraints. • Investment trade-offs are made continuously between additional dwellings or social infrastructure. • Providers favor amenity-rich locations and shared spaces within developments to foster placemaking. • Integrating Māori landscapes, histories and memories respects and enhances tenants’ sense of place. • Iwi and government partnerships can lift social infras…

Where Have All the Resultant Theories Gone
One of the key components of a grounded theory study is the creation of a theory grounded in the data collected. However, it is common to read articles that utilise grounded theory but do not present, nor mention the creation of, a resultant grounded theory despite it being a fundamental part of the method. In this State of the Methods paper, we explore this phenomenon, including in our own work, and provide a case study of a grounded theory that…
Placemaking and public housing
This article examines the international literature on placemaking – practices or initiatives that encourage a sense of place – in public housing communities. Placemaking is likely to be particularly beneficial to public housing tenants, and is a current priority for public housing providers; yet reviews of placemaking research have failed to consider public housing. Our systematic quantitative review of 63 English-language journal articles reveal…
Takatāpui/LGBTIQ+ People’s Experiences of Homelessness and Sex Work in Aotearoa New Zealand
At present, there is limited research on the intersection of sex work, takatāpui/LGBTIQ+ communities, and experiences of homelessness in Aotearoa New Zealand. This paper helps to bridge this gap, exploring how takatāpui/LGBTIQ+ people who had been failed by the welfare state engaged in sex work during periods of homelessness, and expressed agency in difficult circumstances. Specifically, we look at sex and sex work as a means to secure basic need…
Perceived benefits and risks of developing mixed communities in New Zealand
AbtsractIn New Zealand, mixed communities are developed on green fields or to replace existing public housing as a way of increasing housing supply, and, in some views, improving outcomes for low-income residents. This paper identifies the effects of developing mixed communities as perceived by implementers of these projects – politicians, officials, developers, and housing providers – and places these in the context of the international evidence…
The way to end housing problems’
Private renters in New Zealand during the 1970s paid high rents relative to their incomes and endured poor quality and insecure housing. Protest groups formed across the country in order to protect and promote tenant interests; a rare occurrence in New Zealand’s history. The groups supported tenants through direct action and legal advice and lobbied for policy change. This paper draws on the archives of tenant groups to investigate why these grou…
Does the proportion of public housing tenants in a community affect their wellbeing? Results from New Zealand
A Failed Attempt at Participatory Video With Takatāpui/LGBTIQ+ People Who Had Experienced Homelessness
This paper provides insights into a failed attempt at participatory video (PV). PV has long been favoured by researchers working with marginalised communities. However, there is limited discourse about when the method is and is not appropriate, and few published examples of when it has failed. It is important to critique research methods, and for researchers to be transparent about when research is not carried out as originally intended. Such ref…
What is a Mixed-tenure Community? Views from New Zealand Practitioners and Implications for Researchers
Building mixed-tenure communities is increasingly promoted as a way to increase housing supply and improve community outcomes. However, communities described as mixed-tenure vary greatly. The lack of a common understanding of mixed-tenure communities presents a challenge to researchers seeking to evaluate their effects. We identify a range of views from New Zealand stakeholders as to what tenures are present in a mixed-tenure community, what prop…
Service usage of a cohort of formerly homeless women in Aotearoa New Zealand
The cohort were primarily female, younger, Māori, and parents. They earned much less than their non-homeless counterparts, and relied heavily on government support. The neoliberalisation of the welfare state, high rates of women's poverty, and the gendered nature of parenthood means that women's homelessness is distinct from men's homelessness
Well Homes Initiative
BACKGROUND: Six thousand children are hospitalized each year in New Zealand with housing sensitive conditions, and 86.2% of these children are rehospitalized during childhood. The Healthy Homes Initiative, set up by the Ministry of Health, and implemented in Wellington through Well Homes, carries out housing assessments and delivers a range of housing interventions. METHOD: Housing assessments were carried out by trained community workers. Philan…
Public Housing and Well-Being
BACKGROUND: A robust evidence base is needed to develop sustainable cross-party solutions for public housing to promote well-being. The provision of public housing is politically contentious in New Zealand, as in many liberal democracies. Depending on the government, policies oscillate between encouraging sales of public housing stock and reducing investment and maintenance, and large-scale investment, provision, and regeneration of public housin…

LGBTIQ+ Homelessness
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer (LGBTIQ+) people’s experiences of homelessness is an under-explored area of housing and homelessness studies, despite this group making up 20–40% of homeless populations. Despite this, much of the existing literature focuses on specific elements of LGBTIQ+ homelessness, and often does not consider the intersections of these elements, instead placing them into individual siloes. Our approach…
Mapping interactions between the sustainable development goals
Pursuing integrated research and decision-making to advance action on the sustainable development goals (SDGs) fundamentally depends on understanding interactions between the SDGs, both negative ones ("trade-offs") and positive ones ("co-benefits"). This quest, triggered by the 2030 Agenda, has however pointed to a gap in current research and policy analysis regarding how to think systematically about interactions across the SDGs. This paper synt…
Tenants’ Responses to Substandard Housing
Unsafe and unhealthy housing is a major problem in the private rental sector in a number of countries, despite the existence of regulations intended to protect people from such housing. Rental housing quality regulation often relies on tenants reporting problems with their housing, but this fails to take account of power dynamics in the tenant-landlord relationship that make it difficult for tenants to do so. Drawing on Lukes’ three-dimensional v…
Setting Housing Standards to Improve Global Health
Developing World Health Organization international guidelines is a highly formal process. Yet the resulting guidelines, which Member States are encouraged, but not required to adopt, are a powerful way of developing rigorous policy and fostering implementation. Using the example of the housing and health guidelines, which are currently being finalised, this paper outlines the process for developing WHO guidelines. This includes: forming a Guideli…
Using Twitter to Explore (un)Healthy Housing
While increasingly used for research, Twitter remains largely untapped as a source of data about housing. We explore the growth of social media and use of Twitter in health and social research, and question why housing researchers have avoided using Twitter to explore housing issues to date. We use the #characterbuildings campaign, initiated by an online media platform in New Zealand in 2014 to illustrate that Twitter can provide insights into ho…

Renting in New Zealand
Currently, around a third of New Zealand’s households, and half its population live in rental accommodation. The proportion of tenant households is growing. Tenant advocates, who are a first port of call for tenants experiencing difficulties in their housing situation, can provide unique insight into the experience of renting in New Zealand. This article presents key themes generated from semi‐structured interviews with tenant advocates. Tenants …

It explains why Latin America is a particular focus of this expansion, and outlines the Dairy Partners America alliance with NestlÉ. The article narrates the controversies and achievements of Fonterra’s involvement in Chile, the …
MPs, The Media, And The Televising Of Parliament
The advantages of television coverage of Parliamentary proceedings seem clear. The ability to see their elected representatives carry out the business of running the nation surely makes for a more informed, interested and involved citizenry. However, when the opportunity to extend and improve the facilities that allow New Zealanders to see their MPs at work in Parliament arose in 2005, nothing was clear. To Parliament, approving funding for the e…

Who Cut the Apron Strings and When? Adopting the Statute of Westminster in New Zealand in 1947
New Zealand’s ‘independence’ from the United Kingdom can be seen as a process with a number of key steps, including Dominion Status in 1907, the various Imperial Conferences post World War I, the Statute of Westminster 1931, its adoption in New Zealand in 1947, and the New Zealand Constitution Act in 1986.Central in this process was the Statute of Westminster. But of all the Dominions, New Zealand was the last to adopt the Statute in 1947. This a…

The Application of Hirschman’s Exit-voice Framework to Housing Studies
Albert Hirschman’s 1970 work Exit, Voice and Loyalty, which considers the interaction of responses to dissatisfaction with an organization, product or country, has been drawn on by social scientists to look at concepts as diverse as health care provision, marital relationships, shareholder activism and strike activity. This paper reviews ways that the exit–voice framework has been drawn on to discuss issues related to housing: first, homeowners’ …
