" I am a retired management consultant with a passion for good quality housing for everyone. I have been both in leadership and support of many differing groups dealing with housing at both a national and local level. I was recently recognised by KCDC for my conservation efforts in the wider community."

" I am a retired registered nurse and a tertiary lecturer. Through my nursing practice I have worked in the community seeing first hand some of the housing that people live in and I know through teaching nursing students that housing is one of the main determinants of health. Healthy, safe, warm and dry housing contributes to healthy people. With our aging population, and many more people over 65 with housing needs living in our community, I want to work with the rest of our team to raise awareness of these housing needs and look at how we can provide more long term solutions."

Julia Kennedy

Trustee

"For me as a renter, the biggest challenge has been finding security of tenure, a “forever home”, in a market where a long term generally means a one-year lease. Moving house frequently is particularly tough on Seniors and can be tough on their finances and possessions too. 

This makes me an enthusiast for Homes for Good, and the opportunity to help bring about change in housing options for Kapiti Seniors. As a retiree, I very much welcome the opportunity to contribute my lived experience and skills in management and governance."
