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…
Continued Tenancy in Public Housing and Youth Justice Outcomes
In New Zealand, public housing can offer households a permanent home and a rental‐based approximation of owner‐occupation. Using a social determinants framework, this paper examines youth justice outcomes among individuals aged 14–24 years who were continuously housed in public housing between 2013 and 2022, including those who resided in different public housing units over time. We find that reported police offences, court charges and instances …

Setting maximum occupancy limits in rental housing
Staying cool at home
Drawing on results from a novel online qualitative survey, we explore the experiences of disabled people residing in Aotearoa New Zealand during the summer months, considering how individuals manage home temperature, how well their dwellings support their thermal needs, and any barriers to preferred cooling practices. Disabled people are disproportionately impacted by climate change, while at the same time facing poor quality, inaccessible and in…
Framing home injury
Like many countries in the OECD, Aotearoa NZ does not comprehensively regulate or enforce the safety of rental housing, despite evidence that the significant scale of home injury can be reduced through cost-effective home modifications. We examine the framing of home injury in media, political, and organisational discourse to identify barriers to creating and enforcing laws for safer rental homes. We find progress in addressing safety via rental …
Sustaining Tenancies or Swift Evictions
There is a contradiction at the centre of tenancy practice and policy. On the one hand is the goal of sustaining tenancies to prevent homelessness and, on the other, a tribunal system for resolving tenancy disputes which is founded on achieving a "swift eviction". We analyse observations of tribunal hearings and mediations along with a sample of written orders. We ask whether the goal of sustaining tenancies can be achieved in a legislative frame…
Telling stories
This paper examines the emergence of the regulation of housing conditions in the private rental sector as a policy issue in New Zealand using an analysis of narratives in media, advocacy and political texts. Narratives are evident in public discourse and are the stories told by interest groups to identify and cast a problem as a policy issue in a way analogous to the beliefs of the speaker. This case study shows that while the narratives used by …
Examining the role of tenure, household crowding and housing affordability on psychological distress, using longitudinal data
BACKGROUND: The association between good mental health and housing circumstances is well established. Tenure, household crowding and housing affordability have all been linked to mental health and psychological distress. These cross-sectional relationships are collinear and confounded, and so provide little information on the possible effects of changing housing circumstance on mental health or psychological distress. To do this longitudinal data…
Ma and Pa’ Landlords and the ‘Risky’ Tenant
Social constructions of what it means to let and rent housing are revealed in language and are intimately tied to housing outcomes for both landlords and tenants. This paper is concerned with the socially constructed identities of landlords and tenants in the private rental sector and how these are revealed in language. Fairclough's methods of discourse analysis coupled with Habermas' ideal speech situation and theory of communicative action are …
