As such, every member (approximately 5000) of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei can trace their whakapapa (genealogy) to Tuperiri and are descended from the three hapu (sub-tribes): TeTāōū, Ngāoho and Te Uringutu, collectively referred to as Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

Tauranga City Council owns 246 units for housing older people, most of which are located near shopping centres and bus routes. They have signed a Housing Accord with the Government to provide new developments to deliver smaller homes on modestly sized sections to achieve more affordable housing.

A Special Housing Area (SHA) is an area of the City suitable for new housing where the more permissive resource consenting powers of the Act can be used to fast track development.

SHAs will be selected by Tauranga City Council in areas where there is a clear demand for housing, and where there is already suitable infrastructure or there are plans for it to be built. When recommending SHAs, Council may include criteria specifying maximum building height, the minimum number of dwellings and a measure for affordable houses. The Council will negotiate housing affordability outcomes on a development by development basis. Some developments will lend themselves to delivering more affordable housing prices than other developments.

Previously the Tauranga Community Housing Trust, Tawanui Community Housing - Whare Kaitiaki, was founded in 2003 in response to concern about the growing lack of affordable, appropriate housing for local disabled people. The Trust operates in the Tauranga area and Western Bay of Plenty Region and now assists a broad range of people, mostly working with individuals and families with complex health, disability, financial and/or social needs in addition to a serious housing need.

Tauranga has been described as being one of the least affordable cities in New Zealand to live, both in terms of renting and home ownership due to the high housing costs relative to income. As a housing provider and landlord TCHT is helping to address this issue through providing housing at a social rather than market rent to those who need it, both in properties owned by the trust itself and through leasing and managing properties owned by the private sector.

Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi facilitates and delivers important health services for all Ngāpuhi who live in Kaikohe and surrounding areas.

Formerly know as Te Hau Ora O Kaikohe, the organisation was rebranded and joined the Te Rūnanga-Ā-Iwi O Ngāpuhi group in July 2015 as a subsidiary of the Rūnanga, alongside Ngāpuhi Iwi Social Services and the Ngāpuhi Asset Holding Company.

Today, Ngāti Awa faces many challenges, some of which have remained with us for some time. But with these challenges come opportunities – and the potential to move forward together as one.

In 2008, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Awa engaged with Ngāti Awa whānui to identify iwi aspirations looking ahead towards the year 2050. Without exception, Ngāti Awa of all ages share the view that the survival and revitalisation of our identity and culture into the future is paramount. This shared vision is very powerful and unifying, but we also need to recognise that the deterioration of our language and cultural practices has been swift and the sustainability of our unique identity is not guaranteed. The challenge has been laid down, kia rite – we must be ready.

Social and affordable housing is one of those services and Te Whare Āhurutanga is the facility that encapsulates this vision. The 11 bedroomed whare is designed especially for kaumātua who are still independent but would benefit from the support of shared living in a homely family atmosphere.

We will consider all housing projects and initiatives , including large-scale urban developments and smaller (often rural Māori-land based) housing projects.

The housing aspirations and needs of Māori are diverse and must be well understood when looking to design a project and solution. Our approach to community housing projects recognises that a quality building is only one part of a successful social or affordable housing project and that wraparound support is often required for community members to maximise and sustain holistic wellbeing outcomes.

In working towards our vision we provide three core functions. A think tank which generates informed dialogue on current issues and co-commissions or inspires relevant research in areas where we need greater knowledge, a backbone organisation which provides project facilitation to enable the evolution and implementation of innovative new projects and collaborations, and a programme and service hub to either deliver or support services that provide a unique response to needs.

We can provide information as to universal accessible design, including plans, which utilise the barrier-free standards. We can also assist with information about accessible modifications within the home. This has also included building accessible homes on Maori land and the unique challenges that this involves.

WIT’s seed germinated in 2000 with the need to support one person. It now has over 300 clients on its books. The service was originally a project born out of some work done at The Light House in Napier, a drop-in centre run by people who have experience of mental illness. While peer support and advocacy was happening, there was an obvious need to support people in a more comprehensive way. Some of these people had fallen through the cracks of the mental health system and needed advocacy as well as resources to find their way back into the community. They were commonly referred to as the “too-hard basket” and were either living on the street or not far from it.
