Why build?

Everybody deserves to have a meaningful life within their community.

Society has shifted its attitudes and hopes for people living with disabilities. The focus has moved towards citizenship and self-determination. As services become more person-directed, the emphasis is on offering greater control and choice over living environments. Rowan Apartments seeks to achieve this for four more people by providing a suitable place to call home. A home that offers a typical, modern, living environment and meets each person’s individual support needs while encouraging community connection.

Combat a critical need

The housing shortage in Hawke’s Bay is well documented but this is even more critical for people who need accessible homes.

The critical shortage of accessible housing in Hawke’s Bay underscores the pressing need for viable solutions. We are building the accessible Rowan Apartments in response to this challenge.

Rowan Apartments stands as a beacon of inclusivity and a positive stride toward addressing the urgent shortage. 

Build suitable housing

Right now, over 35 younger people living with complex physical disabilities are living in aged care facilities due to a lack of suitable alternatives. There is nowhere else to go, no one that can support their physical needs. 

Public health waiting lists further highlight the heavy demand for housing options for younger people with disabilities. Every year we also hear from ageing parents who are challenged to find suitable housing options for their adult children who they care for.

For a Wonderful Home, In Memory of Candice 🦒💖

I’d much rather stand on one of these Rowan bricks than a Lego brick. Great to see these awesome facilities being extended.

Rowan Apartments

A life-long positive impact in Hawke’s Bay.

With your help, the modern accessible Rowan Apartments will provide a home for four more flatters (residents) with complex physical needs resulting from brain injuries, neurological, or genetic conditions. More than just leading accessible accommodation, Rowan Apartments empower choice, dignity, and control.

Accessible design

Designed with accessibility in mind, Rowan Apartments aims to empower each flatter by offering a living space that aligns with their unique life. Each apartment will be home for two flatters with their own bedroom and ensuite and shared living spaces. 

Specialist support

The apartments will be modern, well-equipped homes designed to meet individual specialist support needs e.g. structural requirements for hoists and ramps. 

Future-proof

By future-proofing these apartments and planning with robustness and flexibility in mind, Rowan Apartments will showcase the optimal approach for accessible homes.
