Description

Awhina House provides transitional housing support for homeless women in Tauranga.

We are a charitable organisation operating under He Kaupapa Kotahitanga Trust Tauranga.

Awhina House offers transitional housing support for women who are homeless. We are not an emergency night shelter.

  • We want to see homeless women transform their lives and make long­term change. 
  • We want to break the cycle of homelessness and we are committed to supporting women into their own independent housing.
  • We are not a band aid solution to homelessness.

Note:  Awhina House is only able to support women alone. We are not able to accommodate children in our residence. 

Ages
