Mana whenua
Ki te kotahi te kākaho ka whati, ki te kāpuia e kore e whati
When we stand alone we are vulnerable but together we are unbreakable
Te Toi Mahana means “the place of caring and nurturing, standing and belonging.” This name was gifted to us by mana whenua who we are proud to partner with as a community housing provider in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Our mana whenua partners are Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o te Ika, Te Āti Awa ki te Upoko o Te Ika a Māui, and Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangatira.
We work with mana whenua to deliver quality housing for our communities and to support the hauora of our tenants, kaimahi and hapori whānau. Our Board includes two representatives appointed by mana whenua and our teams work collaboratively on operational issues.
Our partnership with mana whenua is fundamental to who we are and has been since our establishment. We endeavor to deepen and grow our partnership with mana whenua and work together to achieve shared goals and aspirations. e)
