Property Management

Safe Homes. Dignified Living. Lasting Care.

We manage properties with the same care we would give our own, because every home we steward is a place where someone is building their future.

Our expert team ensures properties are warm, healthy, and well maintained—meeting all legal standards while responding quickly to issues that matter most. But more than that, we view each property as part of a wider community. We understand that when people feel safe and cared for in their homes, they contribute more deeply to the world around them.

Partner with Te Wawata Kāinga for property management that protects value, uplifts lives, and contributes to stronger communities.

Tenancy Management

Relationships at the Centre. Respect in Every Action.

At the heart of every successful tenancy is mutual trust. Our team builds strong, respectful relationships from day one—ensuring tenants and landlords feel heard, supported, and empowered.

We take a people-first approach to tenancy. We’re proactive, clear, and compassionate—resolving challenges early and supporting tenants to succeed. Our experience spans diverse housing contexts, and we treat each situation with the nuance and care it deserves.

Choose us to create tenancies that last—because when people are respected, stability follows.

Registered Community Housing Provider (CHP)

Trusted. Accountable. Purpose-Driven.

As a registered CHP, Te Wawata Kāinga operates with integrity, transparency, and deep community responsibility. We hold ourselves to the highest standards in governance, financial stewardship, and social impact.

Our registration allows us to collaborate with central government, iwi, social sector leaders, and private owners—unlocking funding, building trust, and delivering real, long-term housing outcomes.

We don’t just manage homes—we lead with purpose. Join us in delivering housing that meets not only regulations, but aspirations.

Access to Social Support

Uplifting People, Standing Together in Tough Times.

We know that life is complex. That’s why we walk alongside tenants—connecting them with trusted support for financial wellbeing, employment, mental health, family support, and more.

Our goal is to equip people with the tools and confidence to manage life’s challenges—so that a temporary hardship doesn’t become a housing crisis. We create tailored pathways of support, ensuring no one is left to struggle alone.

Together, we build strength—so individuals and whānau can stay secure, grounded, and ready for the future.

Community Engagement

Belonging Begins with Connection.

A home isn’t complete without a sense of belonging. At Te Wawata Kāinga, we invest in people and place to help communities flourish.

We take time to understand the local context and existing networks. We help new residents feel welcome and connected. And we partner with community groups, local leaders, and service providers to make sure everyone has access to the supports that enrich daily life.

We create opportunities for neighbours to meet, share stories, and grow trust—because when people feel connected, they take care of each other.

Help us build not just homes, but communities that thrive.

Supported Pathways to Home Ownership

From Stability to Self-Determination.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to move toward ownership if they choose. At Te Wawata Kāinga, we help tenants take that step through Progressive Home Ownership, shared equity models, and rent-to-own pathways.

Our wraparound support includes financial mentoring, goal planning, and post-purchase assistance. It’s not just about buying a house—it’s about building confidence, stability, and long-term success.

Let’s walk this journey together—from security to sovereignty.
