Tenants' Stories

Hear first-hand how good, affordable rental homes give seniors hope, connection and stability.

Good quality, affordable rental homes can give seniors hope, connection and stability. That’s why we focus on providing stable, secure long-term tenancies for senior citizens, and creating inclusive communities that support people to live independently in a home they can call their own.

For two of our tenants, Joan and Christine, choosing Haumaru wasn't just about needing a place to live – it was about connecting with a supportive neighbourhood and having a place of their own, enabling them to lead safe, fulfilling lives.
