Whānau Support
When whānau come to He Herenga Kura in times of need, they are met with manaaki, respect and practical support to help them move forward. Our kaimahi walk alongside whānau, offering safe housing, guidance, and wrap-around services that respond to their unique circumstances.
From navigating complex systems to strengthen connections with community and whānau, we provide a korowai of care that supports healing, growth and long-term wellbeing.

A MĀTOU MAHI
As a kaupapa Māori provider, we provide a Whānau Ora response to ending homelessness. We incorporate the tikanga principles of Manaakitanga, Kotahitanga, Rangatiratanga and Whakawhanaungatanga.
Connecting Whānau through whakapapa and linking them back to their Whānau, Hapu and Iwi is a key outcome for us.
Ratonga Whānau
Ratonga Whānau is a Kaupapa Māori service who prides themselves on serving whānau across the greater Wellington region, extending as far as Whanganui. With a whānau centred approach, underpinned by the principles of Whānau Ora kaimahi support Whānau to be confident about making changes for themselves, to dream and aspire to bigger things.
“He kai kei aku ringa”
“It is at my hands will be my success”.
Ratonga Whare
In addition to our commitment to expanding our social housing portfolio and improving living conditions, we also strive to provide service delivery through a Te Ao Māori lens. We recognise the importance of incorporating Māori values and perspectives into our work, and we aim to do so in a respectful and meaningful way. By doing this, we can better serve our community and make a positive impact on the lives of those we work with. For Māori by Māori.
