Te Kōtuku ki te Rangi

What Te Kōtuku ki te Rangi does

Te Kōtuku ki te Rangi is a New Zealand charitable trust founded in 1991 in Auckland to deliver kaupapa Māori mental health, wellbeing, housing, and social services to tangata whaiora and whānau across West Auckland. The organization operates an integrated service bundle comprising community mobile support (Ngā Parirau, Awhi Ora), 24/7 Level 4 residential care for women at Hinepiripiri (Henderson) and for men at Marangatahi (Te Atatū North), a planned adult respite facility at Bodi Place (Te Atatū South), and a managed social housing portfolio across central and west Auckland. Cultural programmes including Hākinakina (physical fitness aligned to Te Tapa Tinana) and Mauri Tau (mātauranga Māori enrichment engaging roughly 120 participants weekly) complement the clinical services. The clinical and cultural model is grounded in the Te Whare Tapa Whā framework developed by Dr Mason Durie, integrating taha tinana, taha hinengaro, taha whānau, and taha wairua, and became the benchmark for similar Māori organisations nationally following the 1996 Mental Health Commission review.

The revenue model is government-funded and grant-funded. Auckland DHB and Waitematā DHB contracts (in place since 1997, originally under Auckland and Waitematā CHEs) provide the primary funding for clinical services, with supplementary funding from Te Ao Auahatanga Hauora for Whānau Ora delivery and Te Puni Kōkiri for organisational capability-building. Access to residential, respite, and community services is referral-driven via the Waitematā Home Based Treatment Team and Crisis Team, rather than direct consumer purchase; social housing is rented to eligible tangata whaiora. The organization is governed by a Board of Trustees (Chair Rocky Tahuri) under a charitable trust structure registered in 2008, with day-to-day leadership by CEO Raymond Hall and General Manager Zita Riki. Headcount is small (1-10 in firmographics; roughly 10-15 named kaimahi) and the operating footprint is regional, concentrated in West and Central Auckland.
