Te Waipuna Puawai has been actively involved in discussions on social housing over the past 2 years. This is a significant community wide issue and concerns are shared with many community members and organisations. With the government signalling its desire to support the growth of the third sector, a group of concerned citizens have responded by developing a business plan which would see the establishment of a new form of housing trust named, Nga Iwi Katoa, interested in whanau ora where the house becomes the lever for transformation. Nga Iwi Katoa is positioning itself to be the voice for ‘Tāmaki Community Housing’.
Nga Iwi Katoa intends responding to the entire spectrum of needs from emergency, transition, long term rental and affordable housing in collaboration with a collective of allied service providers. Now that the business planning process is almost complete, the draft trust deed will be amended to align to the vision and aspirations named in the plan. Initial trustees have been identified and the Trust Deed will be registered early 2012
