About

The National Māori Housing Conference is an important conference that happens yearly around Māori Housing. This year the event will be held in Waitangi in late October. Ngāpuhi are hosting this event exploring the kaupapa of KOTAHITANGA - unity in Māori leadership, innovation, and collaboration as a mechanism for co-creating transformative solutions for the future of Māori housing.

We would love to join the conference in Waitangi for engaging discussions, listening to expert panels, participating in workshops and making connections with other whānau and hapū around the mōtū. This isn't only about just taking from such an event, we wish to contribute our story of what Te Whare Hangahanga and Whakahangahanga are contributing to the ecosystem in the near future.

We want to use this opportunity to engage with iwi leaders, policymakers, and housing innovators sharing insights, strategies, and solutions to drive sustainable, whānau-centred housing outcomes.

However, to get our team to Waitangi and attending the event will cost around to $5,253.00 NZD.
