About the CHRA register

Purpose of the register

One of our functions is to maintain an electronic public register of all registered community housing providers (CHPs).

Its purpose is to ensure registration and regulation of CHPs is as transparent as possible. The register enables tenants, the public and other stakeholders to learn more about registered CHPs.  

The register is searchable, you can filter by organisation, location, NZBN or provider number.
