MĀHURU
YOUR JOURNEY HOME STARTS HERE
Tahuna te ahi, kia whakakāngi ki te whenua. Hei āhuru mōwai mō te oranga o te whānau.
Light the fire so that it burns deep into the whenua – a haven for whānau wellbeing.
Our first call-out was met with a wave of enthusiasm – Te Rarawa whānau showed up, keen to be part of a kaupapa that’s about more than just houses. It’s about whānau, whenua, and a future rooted in Kaitāia.
Now we’re opening the doors again.
Whether you missed the first round or you're just ready now, this is your chance to step forward and be part of something special. Māhuru offers pathways into affordable homes – a rent-to-own option designed to support whānau to get to ownership at their own pace.
Who are we looking for?
We’re reconnecting with Te Rarawa whānau who:
- Hold a Te Rarawa iwi registration
- Have a household income between $80,000–$150,000
- Are motivated to settle in Kaitāia and own a home
- Are open to attending financial literacy and home maintenance wānanga
- You don’t need to have it all figured out – just the drive to begin.
He kaupapa nō te ngākau
This is a whānau-led solution. We’re not just handing over house keys – we’re building community, resilience, and a legacy of tino rangatiratanga through homeownership.
The Māhuru team is here to support you through the process, and we want to understand what owning a home in your rohe means to you.
