The purpose of this Grant Fund is to assist registered community housing providers and accredited transitional housing providers to increase and retain the stock of community housing in Tauranga City.
The method to achieve this is to fully or partially subsidise citywide development contributions for community housing developments by registered community housing providers and accredited transitional housing providers.
To be eligible for a grant, building projects need to have been completed in the previous financial year (1 July to 30 June) and be owned by a community housing provider or transitional housing provider. Supporting information will be obtained through the property's building consent records.
Tauranga City Council will invite applications for grants for a one month period at the beginning of the TCC financial year.
The policy sets out the eligibility criteria, and the application, assessment, approval and distribution processes for the grant:
