Whare Ora has been designed to help our Tūwharetoa Homeowners to evaluate the condition of their home and properties and provide advice on any repairs and maintenance that may be needed to maintain a healthy standard. This initiative helps us to work towards achieving our vision of homes worthy of Ngāti Tūwharetoa.
It’s important for our people to have safe, warm, healthy whare that contribute positively to their health and wellbeing so we can continue to see our future generations thrive.
How does it work?
We offer a free Whare Ora assessment completed by our Technical Building Assessor.
For our Whare Ora service we:
Assess: Our assessor will visit your property and assess the health of your home.
Report: We create a detailed report of the findings including what meets Healthy Home standards and any maintenance or repairs noted.
Prioritise: Actions are prioritised by need and urgency.
Together we work out what can be done as a whānau and where you need professional help.
Action: Based on your plan, we support you to take action.
