MEET THE TEAM

Our team of tenancy managers love to work with our customers to make sure they are getting what they need to thrive in their home and community. We all have a strong commitment to the Tāmaki area (Glen Innes, Panmure and Point England), and many of us were raised here or live here.

We are here to help and we want to get to know you and understand your needs. You will see us out in the community a lot, and we’re always happy to chat. We have people on our team who speak your language, whether that’s Samoan, English, Tongan, Te Reo, Mandarin, Niuean, Cook Islands Māori, or Burmese.

Tenancy managers are available Monday to Friday during business hours. For after hours or urgent urgent queries, please call using the number below.

Talofa, kia ora. My name is Peter Lauina. I am of Māori and Samoan descent. Mum is from Ohaewai in the Far North, and Dad is from Lufi Lufi on the Island of Upolu. I feel blessed to work with this community. There’s a sense of hope here, and that hope generally comes from the youth I observe and interact with.

Kia Orana and warm greetings. I’m a proud "Kuki-Kiwi" girl fromTokoroa. I chose Tāmaki Housing because I wanted to be part of Tāmaki’s world-leading transformation of housing, education and health services. Although exciting, living in Auckland has its challenges - but I haven't regretted my decision at all!

Hello everyone! I grew up in China and came to New Zealand in 2004. While working at MSD, I visited Tāmaki Housing to meet with tenancy managers and tenants. That’s when I realised working at Tāmaki Housing would be a wonderful idea. Now here I am, serving the Tāmaki community.

ABOUT US

Tāmaki Housing looks after all of the state houses in Tāmaki (Glen Innes, Panmure and Point England). That means we support over 2,500 local whānau.

We serve our tenants by:

  • Understanding their culture and history
  • Understanding their needs - now and in the future
  • Providing them with choices that help them live with dignity and pride

We are part of the Tāmaki Regeneration Company (TRC), which is owned by the Government and Auckland Council. TRC is leading the Tāmaki regeneration programme, which is bringing thousands of new homes to Glen Innes, Panmure and Point England, and improving our streets, parks and town centres. We are working alongside mana whenua, the community, schools and businesses to provide more connection and opportunity for all Tāmaki locals, including jobs and skills training.

We will be replacing old state homes in Glen Innes, Panmure and Point England with about 3,500 new warm, modern state homes over the next 20 years. We are also working with our partners to build around 3,500 more affordable homes for whānau to buy. You can read more about them here.

We will always follow the Tāmaki Commitment: Those who wish to stay in Tāmaki will have the opportunity to do so. We work closely with our tenants to make sure we’re serving your needs.
