Who we are

CHP Assist is a one-stop consultancy service for Aotearoa's Community Housing Sector, offering strategic guidance and hands-on support to deliver successful, affordable housing developments.

Led by Guy Brocklehurst, who has played a key role in enabling government funding for over 2,500 affordable homes across New Zealand, we bring a unique mix of sector insight, commercial pragmatism, and trusted relationships across government, iwi, and the development sector.

Our expertise spans funding, planning, development, and delivery. We work alongside Community Housing Providers, not-for-profit entities, iwi, developers, and government to provide tailored advice and practical solutions.

From early concept through to project completion, we help manage risk, secure funding, and drive outcomes that communities can be proud of.

We value each client, and enjoy the opportunity to help solve challenging problems.
