Te Pā Maru

Te Pā Maru, at 304 Taranaki Street, provides care and a safe place for kainoho (residents) who are often unable to access other residential support services because of addiction and alcohol dependence.

We recognise that for most of our Te Pā Maru kainoho, being free of addiction is not a realistic expectation. Instead, living somewhere where they can be healthy and safe, living more stable lives, will be a positive outcome.

We have Alcohol and Other Drug Practitioners, Social Workers and Kaitiaki (support workers) onsite, with access to other primary and secondary health services.

Te Pā Maru has 18 bedrooms with ensuites, and shared cooking and dining spaces.

Te Pā Maru is not transitional housing. For some of our kainoho, Te Pā Maru might be their home for life.
