Māori housing crisis | Can Covid-19 bring solutions?
New Zealand is in the midst of a housing crisis, and Māori are particularly hard hit. On top of that, COVID-19 has robbed people of their jobs and homes. Desperate for somewhere to live, whānau are returning to their ancestral homelands, only to find substandard housing and overcrowding, sometimes 14 people in three bedrooms.
This report by Cheryl Holloway of Co.Creators summarises the lockdown discussions. It recognises that government cannot fix the system alone. And neither can Māori. They must keep working together and tackle a number of challenging questions along the way.

2017 Briefing to the Incoming Minister (BIM)
The purpose of this briefing is to introduce Te Matapihi he Tirohanga mō te Iwi Trust (Te Matapihi) as the national peak sector body supporting Māori housing, and to highlight issues of significance to the Māori housing sector that we believe warrant Ministers’ attention.
