Kiwisaver fund Simplicity has launched a new fund for up to $25,000 new homes over the long term.

But community housing isn't a new thing - Salvation Army has been supplying housing for over 100 years.

Founder and Chief Executive of Community Finance, James Palmer talks to Jesse about the community housing providers and how they work with government to build more homes.
