On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome a delegation from Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to our Wellington office as part of their official visit to New Zealand.

Led by Vice Chairman Hoang Nguyen Dinh, the delegation included representatives from construction, environment, education, foreign affairs and other key agencies from the Vietnamese capital.

The visit provided a great opportunity to celebrate best practice and to exchange perspectives on social and affordable housing, urban development and community outcomes.

Chief Executive, Jonathan Manns, shared Te Toi Mahana's experience as one of New Zealand's largest community housing providers; including the Trust's growing development programme and its comprehensive tenant-centred approach to service delivery and mana whenua representation.

We were equally interested to learn more about Ho Chi Minh City's ambitious housing programme, including its aspiration to deliver 200,000 new homes by 2030 through radical interventions to unlock supply through both the public and private sector.

While the scale of our communities differs, there is a shared focus on delivering the best possible outcomes through high-quality and affordable homes.

A massive mihi to our manuhiri for taking the time to meet with us. We hope you enjoyed your time in Wellington and look forward to continuing the exchange of ideas and experiences that help create better housing outcomes for the communities we serve.

As Wellington's population grows, so too will housing pressure. But this won't affect everyone equally. The greatest challenges will fall on lower-income renters, families with children, and larger or multi-generational households, especially from ethnic minority communities. 🏡

There is a real, significant and growing need for more social housing. Investing in social housing leads to a healthier population, and a greater opportunity for people to reach their full potential. 🌟

Last week, we took full advantage of the sunshine ☀️ and organised a little community barbeque at 114 The Terrace. 114 is a temporary home for many of our tenants whose complexes are undergoing works as part of Wellington City Council's Housing Upgrade Programme phase 2 (HUP2). HUP2 will deliver warm, dry, safe and secure social housing that better meets the needs of future and current tenants. Our kaimahi had lovely yarns with our tenants, many of whom are loving inner-city living, and we're looking forward to building on the community spirit with more events (and sausage sizzles)!

To our tenants, a huge welcome to 114 The Terrace! 💓

Community Housing Aotearoa - CHA have just published their latest Insight Report, casting an important spotlight on the sobering reality of homelessness and housing in Aotearoa. Read it here: https://chahub.org.nz/api/qr/113

Among the findings the report backs the call that many of us in the housing sector have consistently made: to properly address homelessness, social housing in Aotearoa must be rapidly expanded.

As our recently published report 'Delivering Value: The Economic Benefits of Social Housing' shows, social housing is not a cost to our society: it is a critical investment that offers a broadly threefold return on investment. You can also read our report on our website: tetoimahana.org.nz/report. Thank you CHA for this critical piece of work!

Calling all Te Toi Mahana tenants! 📢 Our annual tenant satisfaction survey is now open for your feedback. Like last year, we have engaged Allen + Clarke (an independent research and consulting company) to conduct the survey. This year you have two options:

1. A short survey that would take less than 3 minutes.
2. Or if you prefer to provide more detail of your tenancy experience, a longer survey that would take less than 10 minutes.

By sharing your feedback, you’ll help improve our services to you and your whānau. Feedback through the survey is welcome until 12pm 15th June 2026. Fill out the online survey: https://allenandclarke.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qIcAYKXyQKA0hU?Q_CHL=qr

A big mihi to all who joined us: thank you for supporting social housing, and for helping to create more affordable homes, stronger communities, and improved wellbeing for everyone in Pōneke.

Crofton Downs, we're excited for our first new build to be in your neighbourhood, providing much-needed warm, dry and energy-efficient new homes. This Saturday, we're coming to the Crofton Downs Mitre 10 from 12:30- 3pm to run a sausage sizzle, with all proceeds going to Kaibosh Food Rescue. Drop by to meet some of the team and have a chat about our new build, how we work and any questions you might have. Or just grab a quick sausage (veggie options available!) while you shop and know the proceeds are going to one of the most valuable charities around, keeping people supported during this cost of living crisis.

Can't make it but still want to support the kaupapa? Donate here: https://donorbox.org/ttmrunningfor-kaibosh-donation-2
