Housing Upgrade - Community Action Programme
Community action
The Community Action Programme (CAP) is a Wellington City Council initiative that aims to improve the lives of our tenants. It recognises that housing is the foundation of communities and provides the base from which bonds are formed with the outside world.
The programme aims to increase social cohesion, community spirit, and develop pride within communities. It supports tenants to have greater participation in decisions that affect their lives, allowing them to improve their living standards and their overall well-being.
CAP is an integral part of the Housing Upgrade Project and will be rolled out in every housing complex in the next two years.
Work includes:
- improving community facilities (like communal indoor and outdoor spaces and gardens)
- organising social and recreational programmes and activities
- introducing exercise and art classes
- upgrading children's play areas
- helping build a sense of safety
- providing tenants with greater access to information and advice on health and other community services.
