At Ake we are passionate about the intergenerational benefits that can be realised through improving housing and increasing home ownership options.

We can help your whānau explore and understand its options, plan a course of action, and navigate the complex processes involved in delivering a housing project.

 
  • Our feasibility studies provide a detailed study into what options are available for your whenua or existing housing. Our studies are tailored to your needs and their scope can include land suitability, build types, local government planning requirements, finance and potential ownership options and structures.

  • Government funding is available to support Māori Housing planning, infrastructure, new home construction and repairs of existing housing stock. Our team can help you establish what type of funding your project may be eligible for, and then collate and organise the necessary information for proposals. If funding is achieved, we can also undertake any progress reports required by the funder.
