Papakainga

Papakainga for Whanau Housing

The Mangatawa Papakainga is a housing project designed specifically for our Kuia and Kaumatua shareholders.  It consists of ten two bedroom rental homes with carports, situated on Mangatawa land near the foot of Mangatawa hill overlooking Te Akau ki Papamoa and out to Tuhua and Mauao. 

The papakainga are a Partnership with Housing New Zealand where Mangatawa provided the land and project management and co-ordination. 

  It is important for now that kaumatua (65+) wishing to be housed in one of these 10 2-bedroom units are registered on MSD’s Social Housing Register.  We can help set up an appointment to apply for this and there are a set of criteria e.g. no more than $42k in assets; no current home ownership, currently have no housing of an acceptable standard (no water, power etc., perhaps overcrowding or health issues).   

All of the 10 units have been allocated after a robust selection process.  To qualify for the units you must be a shareholder; must be over 65 years of age; must be committed to our Marae Tamapahore; must meet Housing New Zealand criteria (i.e. can not already own your own home or have lots of cash in the bank).  If you would like to be put on the waiting list as units come free please contact our Housing Tenancy Manager.
