Te Roroa and Habitat for Humanity Northern Region this week signed a Mana Enhancing Agreement, agreeing to work together to provide long term, healthy and affordable housing for Te Roroa tribal members, including whānau in the rohe of Te Roroa.
The Mana Enhancing Agreement sets out the principles by which Te Roroa and Habitat will base their ongoing relationship, creating a strong, balanced, enduring and mutually beneficial working relationship.
Te Roroa Development Charitable Trust chairwoman Cheryl Tane said Te Roroa looks forward to continuing to build upon the relationship with Habitat by cementing its commitment based on the tikanga and signing of the Mana Enhancement Agreement.
