From Dream to reality

This year, Malia and Henry turned a long-held dream into reality. They are now the proud owners of a brand-new home in Tāmaki, where their son can walk to Sacred Heart College alongside his friends.

Referred to us by Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC), they came with determination, a strong work ethic, and a clear goal. Together, we developed a plan that worked for their family — combining the shared ownership pathway, their KiwiSaver savings, and a practical budget to make homeownership achievable and sustainable.

Through TRC's OWN IT programme, and with the support of partner banks, their dream became possible. We were privileged to work alongside TRC and their lending partners to help guide the journey from aspiration to homeownership.

Malia and Henry have spent years giving back to their community through coaching and supporting local rugby clubs. Today, they continue to serve their community from a place they can proudly call home.

Could this be your family's story too?

We're here to help you take the first step.
