The conference will also produce a high level national document to identify strategic solutions for the current and future housing needs of Māori in Aotearoa .

“Te Puni Kokiri is one of the major sponsors for the conference and we are also looking for other organisations who would like to sponsor the event. We are very grateful to Te Puni Kokiri for their assistance and to our voluntary organising committee for organising the event” said Mr Ihaka.
