Community engagement and resources
This exciting new development by Kāinga Ora in Central Auckland’s iconic Greys Avenue combines 276 new homes built around a supportive environment to enable its residents to connect and be active members of the community.
Te Mātāwai offers its residents a wide range of services. Kāinga Ora and Kāhui Tū Kaha combine public housing with a range of services to meet the individual needs of residents. By creating a supportive environment for our residents they can have the opportunity to build social connections within this new neighbourhood.
Of the 276 new apartments at Te Mātāwai, 200 will be designated as public homes with 24/7 on site support services available enabling us to support a number of people from the rough sleeping community into sustainable tenancies. The existing public housing building next door will also have access to the 24/7 support.
