City Mission Spotlight: Te Pā Pori Known to many City Mission Spotlight: Te Pā Pori

Known to many as the iconic “Zebra building” on Tory Street, Te Pā Pori is our largest transitional housing facility, providing a safe space for up to 70 manuhiri.

Here, manuhiri receive wraparound support - from counselling, to help with employment and tenancies, helping them build the skills and confidence to live well in their own homes. Even after they move on, we keep in touch to ensure they’re doing okay.
For those who live with us at Whakamaru, our Suppo For those who live with us at Whakamaru, our Supported Transitional Housing is about more than just housing. 

Āe, we offer practical wrap around support to help whānau find permanent housing, work and stability... but it’s equally about community, laughter, and getting the chance to experience living life as rangatahi should.

Here are some of the things we get up to together ❤️
