Whānau and community development through housing (Pt. 2)

Summative evaluation report (October 2020)

This report presents the findings of a summative evaluation on community development through housing approaches in six communities, supported by Te Puni Kōkiri. The report builds on the findings of the formative evaluation report. COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 meant that by July 2020, all six communities were still in the process of implementing housing and community projects. This meant a summative judgement of the outcome of the community development approaches could not be made. The evaluation has instead focused on what had been achieved by the end of July 2020 for whānau, the uniqueness of the community development approaches and the lessons that can be used for the future.

Te Ahua o te Kāinga – Shaping the House

Emeritus Professor Sir Mason Durie discusses the wider determinants that will enable Māori housing to reach high standards. 

Part 1 discusses the broader significance of Housing For Māori with a particular focus on the dual parameters of whānau and community. It concludes with five challenges for improving housing for Māori.  Part 2 is more closely aligned to the significance of a kainga for Māori and the importance of whānau, whenua and whanaungatanga (connections).  It identifies ten markers that have special relevance for kainga. Essentially, Part 1 is about housing and Part 2 is about the house.  October 2019
