Why Dwell exists
Stable homes. Stronger communities.
Homelessness can happen to anyone. Most of us are just one life event - a job loss, an illness, a relationship breakdown - away from losing our home. Housing insecurity can look many different ways: living in emergency accommodation, sleeping on friends’ couches, staying in cars, or having no roof at all. Dwell exists to ensure people facing these realities can access safe, affordable homes and regain stability.
As a community housing provider, Dwell works in partnership with government and the wider community to deliver housing that people can rely on. We focus on long‑term tenancies and well‑designed homes that allow individuals and whānau to put down roots, feel safe, and belong in their communities.
Housing challenges affect all of us. When people are securely housed, communities are stronger, healthier, and more connected. Dwell exists because a thriving Wellington depends on everyone having a place to call home.

“I feel a sense of home.
But I feel a sense of community too. Dwell is so much more than a housing provider.”
Having a secure home enabled Deena to focus on her recovery.
“I use all the local facilities, including the pools. I've got a nice group of friends that I meet down there.”
