If you would like to apply for social housing , your first step is to talk to the Ministry of Social Development ( 社会发展部) about your housing needs. They’ll discuss your situation with you, and look at the best way to help. Then, if you are eligible ( 有资格的) for social housing , they’ll arrange an interview for you. To get started, call Work and Income on 0800 559 009 , or Senior Services on 0800 552 002 if you’re over 65. We’ve also got a whole section on our webpage buying your home —take a look, you may already meet the requirements for one or more of our home ownership products9 or find it is almost within your reach.
