Four Pacific families in Māngere gained homeownership through a government-backed project, but demand for affordable housing remains far higher than supply.
Four new homes in Māngere, developed by the Penina Trust with $4.3 million in government support, have helped four Pacific families achieve home ownership, offering stability after years of overcrowding and insecurity.
The project, part of the Pacific Building Affordable Homes Fund, includes financial training and is managed alongside over 250 rental units.
Despite progress, demand far exceeds supply, with hundreds still on waiting lists in the area.
Local leaders stress that while community efforts are vital, only large-scale government action can address the housing crisis, urging sustained funding and policy support to prevent Pacific families from becoming “forever renters.”
