flag Eighteen Pasifika families in Porirua now own culturally designed homes through a government-backed initiative addressing housing inequity.

flag Eighteen Pasifika families in Porirua, New Zealand, now own homes through the community-driven 'Our Whare Our Fale' initiative, which built 18 culturally designed homes around a central malae to support multi-generational living. flag Funded by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, the project addresses persistent housing disparities, as Pasifika homeownership has declined to 35%—well below the national average. flag The homes, developed after two years of negotiations and land donation, offer stability, equity, and cultural continuity, ending years of rental insecurity. flag The Central Pacific Collective plans to build up to 300 homes, aiming to improve health, education, and employment outcomes for Pasifika communities.
