He tokomaha ngā kaumātua i whakapau kaha mō ō rātou whānau, engari kāore tonu he kāinga pai, utu ngāwari hoki mō rātou i te wā ka whakatā. Kei te tata oti i a Te Whānau o Waipareira ngā whare hou 92 ki Māngere — he kāinga kua hangaia mō ngā kaumātua, ō rātou whānau me ā rātou mokopuna. Anei a Kayne Peters.

Who should be stepping up to close the housing gap for kaumātua? Willie Jackson says Waipareira does not receive enough recognition for the housing work it is delivering in the community.

Te Whānau o Waipareira Trust is nearing completion on a housing project with 92 kaumātua apartments, for kaumātua in need.
