Kāinga Ora, a government agency for social housing in New Zealand, selected Made Open through a competitive tender to develop a special online hub for residents of a major new public housing project in Auckland.
The central Auckland complex comprises 276 apartments providing different types of housing, such as social housing, temporary accommodation, and rentals.
Our platform assists Te Mātāwai residents in feeling connected, supported and a part of the community. The platform also provides access to events, support and services that enhance their well-being and development.
A key aim is to help staff engage tenants, assisting them in forming stronger social connections and improving their well-being.
Robert Woolf, Director of Made Open, explains:
This community platform offers features that empower even the most vulnerable residents to learn new skills and access opportunities. It aligns with Te Mātāwai's values of nurturing residents, promoting fairness and equality.
