A former community housing leader says those providers are ready to collaborate with the Government. 

Kainga Ora chief executive Andrew McKenzie has resigned, saying the Government's changes aren't what he signed up for. 

It comes after a scathing review of the organisation. 

Former Monte Cecilia Housing Trust CEO Bernie Smith told Mike Hosking that the last Government stopped community housing providers buying houses from developers, but did it themselves. 

He says time and time again first home owners were locked out of the market because Kainga Ora came along with a big chequebook.
