Ka Uruora was founded as an iwi-led response to address a systemic and persistent housing crisis. The Ka Uruora program model is centered around tailored education and navigation support programs, delivered by local iwi facilitators, with the aim of empowering and supporting whānau on their journey to home ownership and improved housing quality. Ka Uruora forms collaborative partnerships with service and funding providers to support whānau in achieving financial independence and improved wellbeing through access to quality kainga and home ownership. The ultimate goal – to create empowered Iwi / Māori ecosystems and thriving whānau.
