We all know that homeownership helps break the poverty cycle and creates stronger families. A lot do not have enough deposit for a home to satisfy LVR but that maybe where the iwi comes in. Obviously there has to be the structure that allows for freehold ownership but that shouldn't be too much problem. This sort of partnership could probably be a huge boost for HGH and a win win for all parties.
