Home on wheels part of housing solutions for young Maori
Maia Ratana
Abstract – Tuhinga Whakarāpopoto
If you’re a young Maori looking to own your own home, imagine one on wheels with bedrooms and an upstairs, no money owed on it and little of the hassle of a consents process. Maia Ratana has done just that. She’s part of a group of three researchers who make up the rangatahi ahu for Kāinga Tahi, Kāinga Rua – the flagship Māori housing research programme for the Building Better Homes, Towns and Cities.
