Crisis and Care Accommodation in New Zealand - Industry Research Report

A helping hand: Sustained demand for industry services has boosted revenue growth

In recent years, demand for temporary housing has been one of the biggest issues for the industry. Due to rising rental costs, more New Zealanders have faced the risk of homelessness, with many experiencing financial hardship and persistent economic disadvantage. This has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the economic consequences resulting in more New Zealanders coming under financial stress. The shortage of affordable housing and rising rent costs have placed significant pressure on homelessness, which has ramped up demand for crisis accommodation service providers.

The industry provides residential care accommodation (except aged care) combined with nursing, supervisory or other types of care as required (including medical). This includes the operation of children’s homes (excluding juvenile corrective services), crisis care accommodation, hospices, community mental health hostels, residential refuges and respite residential care facilities.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
