Hohepa Canterbury, although part of the wider Hohepa Homes Trust Board, is semi–autonomous and thus undertakes its own strategic planning. The focus is on being a quality provider with sustainable services, such as living options, community participation, artistic therapies and agriculture.
Currently the community has grown to support 67 adult residents and up to 40 day attendees, generally on the two main sites at Barrington Street and Halswell Farm, with some houses situated close by in the wider community.
Administration, the Day Base and Recreation Centre all operate from the Barrington Street campus, nestled at the foot of the Port Hills amidst a setting of flowing lawns and gardens, complemented with a boundary stream and the occasional sculpture.
Nine kilometres away at Halswell, the farm supports three residential homes, a volunteer’s cottage, commercial kitchen and vegetable preparation complex, all placed within a picturesque mixed farming enterprise.
