Our Partners
Mahi Tahi
Te Pā works collaboratively with multiple local, regional, and national partners across Aotearoa. Our partnerships enable us to deliver a wider range of services to whānau than we would otherwise be able to do on our own. Our partnerships also help us to maintain our relevance and allow us to contribute to macro strategy and policy.
Together with strategic partners, Kāhui Tū Kaha, Ngāti Hine Health Trust, Turuki Health Care, Taumata Kōrero, Shea Pita & Associates, Share My Super, Te Awhero Nui Trust, and others, we are working towards transformational outcomes for our people to live in wellbeing with their whānau.
Strategic partnership with Kāhui Tū Kaha
In 2018, Te Pā formed a strategic partnership with Kāhui Tū Kaha to deliver ‘Creating Positive Pathways’ (Hiki Mana, Hiki Ora) to maximise the knowledge of our two organisations and to provide consistency in service delivery in applying Housing First principles to tangata being released from prison.
The aim of Hiki Mana, Hiki Ora is to:
- Secure sustainable and suitable public housing for tangata
- Work with them inside prison to plan and prepare for their reintegration into the community
- Work with them during the transition period from prison or homelessness to housing
- Support them to retain their tenancy
- Facilitate access to other services available
- Provide support to rebuild their whānau connection and networks of support
- Adhere to the principles of Housing First.
Te Hokinga Mai – Raki Consortium
Te Pā is an expert provider of reintegration and resettlement services for tangata who have been released from prison, deportees, at-risk youth, and their whānau in the Northern Region. This expertise was recognised when a Te Pā-led consortium was contracted to deliver Out of Gate, a service funded by Ara Poutama Aotearoa Department of Corrections that supports tangata and their whānau to return home and thrive in the Northern Region. The consortium’s innovative service solution is Te Hokinga Mai – Raki.
Te Hokinga Mai literally means “to return home” and encompasses the collective ethos of the consortium partners of supporting tangata to return to their whānau and thrive; while Raki refers to the Northern Region (Auckland and Te Tai Tokerau/ Northland).
