“Tukua mai kia piri, tukua mai kia tata”

The National Māori Housing Conference is a Biennial Event held throughout Aotearoa to provide an opportunity for the regions to showcase their leadership and contribution to the “housing space” that is unique to Māori. This conference provides a platform for Māori (and stakeholders) to share ideas, information, networks, and aspiration and formulate solutions to assist Māori in quality affordable housing.

On average more than 400 delegates from all over Aotearoa attend to share “meaningful” ideas, and good practices and create and strengthen relationships. The conference has been built on the understanding that a forward-focused view is key to improving Māori housing outcomes. Tangata whenua, government officials, and representatives from regional, community and the private sector come together to add strategic value to the Māori housing sector.

In 2021, Te Arawa with the support from Rotorua Lakes Council and Ngāti Whakaue koeke put in a tono to host the National Māori Housing Conference in Rotorua.
