A programme set up to insulate cold and damp homes for Northlanders has celebrated its 10th birthday with around 25,000 more Northlanders now in healthier homes.
Healthy Homes Tai Tokerau (HHTT) this week celebrated a decade of making Northland homes warmer and drier – 5037 homes in the Far North, 808 in Kaipara and 3235 in Whangārei District – improving health outcomes for around 25,000 Northlanders.
Insulating more than 9000 cold, damp and mouldy Northland homes has been labelled one of the most significant wellbeing projects ever undertaken in Northland by Ngaire Rae, chairwoman of the Healthy Homes Tai Tokerau Governance Group.
