Resources
Our resources are for the Māori Housing Sector to connect, grow, enable, celebrate and emphasise the successes of Māori housing! Here you will find a collection of tools to help you successfully navigate the different processes across the Māori Housing Spectrum.
Our resources include papakainga toolkits, progressive homeownership webinars, access to funding streams and funders who can support projects. Access to helpful case studies and templates that outline in detail the requirements to meet criteria and examples of working models. Connections to helpful databases and directories, videos and toolkits. Government agency toolkits, videos and templates or information. Essential items to help ease the process of developing, accessing, navigating, or beginning your journey for you and for your whānau in the housing space. Tools that will help from homelessness to homeownership and other wrap-around services.

Systems Advocacy
Systems advocacy seeks to influence changes to systems that support and respond to the needs of Māori individuals and communities so that the rights and interests of Māori in relation to housing and whenua are upheld.
This can include influencing:
The creation of new laws or changes to current laws
The priorities and plans of government and non-government agencies
The policies and procedures that relate to services or systems
The way in which government and non-government agencies provide services
Generally, we carry out systems advocacy, not advocacy for individuals. However, the issues and experiences of individuals inform the focus of our work. Individual matters provide us with examples and help us to work out:
Areas of concern within the community or wider sector
Serious problems with National systems
Issues that could be addressed through our systems advocacy work
We perform systems advocacy to promote and improve opportunities for Māori to develop their land for housing and improve their housing situations. We produce reports on issues relevant to the Māori housing sector, submit articles for publication that provide insight into important issues relating to our sector, and provide commentary on topical issues in the Media through our nominated spokesperson.
