He kāinga he taonga, he taonga oranga.
A home is a treasure, a treasure that brings life.
We work with our housing partners across Aotearoa, investing in projects that help whanau Māori access healthy and affordable homes.
Te Tumu Kāinga is the trading name for the Auckland and Onehunga Hostels Endowment Trust, which was established in 1850. The Trust is administered by the Māori Trustee.
The primary purpose of the Trust is to provide, improve, and maintain accommodation and shelter owned by or used for the benefit of whānau Māori.
ABOUT USABOUT US
Why partner with us
Work with us to create opportunities within your existing development to provide opportunities for whānau/Māori to access healthy and affordable homes, alongside pathways to home ownership.
Statistics New Zealand data shows that just 30.4% of tāngata Māori own their own home or hold it in a family trust. That compares to 58.6% of people belonging to the European ethnic group.
The positive mental and physical impact of being in your own home cannot be underestimated, particularly for whānau with tamariki. Together we can make a real difference.

A new home for Ayla and her boys.
Growing up, Ayla Hoeta’s life was challenging with gang connections and a period in state care. However, after a lot of hard work, gaining an honours’ degree and having twin boys, Ayla’s top priority became owning her own home; a safe haven for her whānau. With the help of the team behind Waimahia Inlet, Ayla’s dream has become a reality.
