Our Partners
Mahi Tahi
Te Pā works collaboratively with multiple local, regional and national partners across New Zealand. Our partnerships enable us to deliver a wide range of services to whānau than we would otherwise 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, and Shea Pita & Associates, we are working towards transformational outcomes for our people to live in wellbeing with their whānau.
Our Mission
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 two organisations and to give consistency in service delivery in applying Housing First principles to people being released from prison. The aim of Hiki Mana Hiki Ora is to:
Secure sustainable and suitable public housing for people
Work with people inside prison to plan and prepare their reintegration into the community
Work with them during the transition period from prison or homelessness to housing
Support them to sustain their tenancy
Facilitate access to other services required
Provide support to rebuild their whānau connection and networks of support
Adhere to the principles of Housing First
Our Mahi
Ko wai Matou?
As a kaupapa Māori organisation, Te Pā responds to community needs and vulnerable whānau. We have a substantial history working in the space of reintegration and social services and we pride ourselves on operating with a tangata and whānau centric service operating model which is reinforced with kaupapa Māori values.
Our driving philosophy is supporting tangata to lead their own change and to be the rangatira they were destined to be. We realise this by addressing the most difficult barriers, such as stigma, judgement, lack of resources and social exclusion, which prevent our tangata from reintegrating into their whānau, hapū, iwi, community and New Zealand society.
