Te Rautaki Māori o Kāinga Ora 2021 - 2026
Te Rautaki Māori o Kāinga Ora 2021-2026 (Te Rautaki Māori) lays a solid foundation for the expression and realisation of Māori aspirations for housing and is based on the principle of partnership.
It is underpinned by a kaupapa Māori approach that recognises, respects and practices tikanga Māori.
Te Rautaki Māori aligns the mahi of Kāinga Ora with the goals of delivering housing and support services that better meet the needs of Māori and iwi across Aotearoa.
The vision for Te Rautaki Māori is the following:
He mana i te whenua, he kura kāinga, he whare haumaru, he puna ora, hei oranga tangata.
With pride of place, with a space to call home, with a protective house, let the spring of life prosper and bring wellbeing to all.
The vision statement sets out the long-term aspirations for Māori and housing.
The Values and principles are:
Mana Motuhake - Māori autonomy
Te Tiriti o Waitangi - Māori and Crown partner to deliver better outcomes for whānau
He Waka Hourua – Authentic and equitable partnerships
He kura kāinga, he kura whānau - Whānau at the centre
Kia manawaroa – Persistence and resilience
He mana tō te kupu – Consistent and timely follow-through
The values strengthen the approach towards the vision.
The Goals are:
- At Kāinga Ora, all Māori are housed in safe and affordable homes
- Significant and efficient scalling of increased housing options for Māori
- Māori-led solutions to Māori issues with the support of government
These are our goals for realisation of Māori aspirations

Engagement with Iwi and Māori
Te Rautaki Māori was developed in partnership with three key tira or groups including Iwi leaders and Māori organisations, Māori housing experts and Government agency representatives. A kaupapa Māori approach was applied in the development of Te Rautaki Māori aiming to build trust with Iwi and Māori demonstrating genuine and authentic intentions.
The process of engagement involved kanohi ki te kanohi engagement however these were bought online due to Covid 19 where we could wānanga together in a safe way.
A kaupapa Māori approach also reflects our responsibilities to uphold Te Tiriti o Waitangi under our legislation, Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities Act 2019. The wānanga discussed issues affecting Māori from achieving their housing goals and aspirations, and how Kāinga Ora can strengthen and build new relationships and partnerships with Iwi and Māori communities.
