Mahitahi Kainga Trust

www.kaingatrust.co.nz

Mahitahi Kāinga Trust is a kaupapa Māori community housing provider established in 2016, dedicated to providing safe, warm, affordable and sustainable housing for whānau.

Working alongside our sister organisation, Mahitahi Trust, we recognise the important connection between stable housing and wellbeing. Guided by Ngā Pou e Rima, our five core values, we are committed to creating supportive communities where whānau feel secure, connected and empowered to thrive.

Our Kōtukutuku Papakāinga development, opened in 2021, reflects our commitment to providing more than just housing — creating spaces that foster belonging, strengthen whānau connections and support long-term wellbeing.
