This is the first newsletter for the trust and forms part of a larger communications plan for the organisation. Much like our social media posts the newsletter is aimed at telling our whānau about what we’re up to. You may also notice a lot of newspaper and media articles about us which is also a part of our plan. These media articles are aimed at the wider public and promote what we are doing and how we can do more.

In 2024, with the support of Te Puni Kōkiri and Te Aka Whaiora, we helped repair 24 homes across our community that were damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle. These repairs have been key to providing safe, warm, and healthy living spaces for whānau who were impacted by the cyclone and the June flood, ensuring they have a place to call home once again.

Tātau Tātau is making great strides in its Te Rauā residential development, with the first homes officially ready for move-in in February. Following a blessing and karakia on 16 December, a plaque was unveiled by Cushla Tangaere Manuel, MP for Ikaroa-Rāwhiti, and Katie Nimon, MP for Napier, marking a major milestone for our commitment to affordable housing in the region.

At Tātau Tātau o Te Wairoa, we are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for our whānau and strengthening the future of our community. One exciting initiative that we are currently running is a pre-employment training programme called Te Ara Tipu, designed to equip local Wairoa people with the skills and experience needed to enter the construction industry.

Te Rauā is an affordable rental housing development in Wairoa. It is a vibrant and prosperous hapori (community) of proud healthy whānau - living and growing through culture and connection.

Our strategic efforts are underpinned by four foundational pillars, known as Pou, each tailored to strengthen our approach and maximise our impact with the resources available.

In the context of this housing strategy, this whakataukī encapsulates our aspirations to empower whānau, hapū, and iwi of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa to achieve self-determination in housing. It also underscores our commitment to providing quality housing solutions that not only meet the immediate needs of our members, but also contribute to our long-term sustainability.

Registered beneficiaries who attend our AGM this Saturday 26 November will be able to complete an Expression of Interest form for a home in Te Rauā.
