Revitalising three East Auckland suburbs is well underway as the Tamaki Regeneration Company works to improve infrastructure, green spaces and housing options. Formed in 2012, the Tamaki Regeneration Company or, TRC is a Crown and Auckland Council entity. The Tāmaki Housing Association is part of it and looks after local state housing tenants in Glen Innes, Point England and Panmure. The aim of the TRC is to strengthen the social infrastructure, parks, and community heart - and to provide healthy places to live. Over the next 20 years the focus is on building 10,500 new affordable, state and private market homes - so far around 1000 houses have been completed. CEO Shelley Katae says close to 100 families have moved into affordable home ownership or affordable rental since the beginning of the Tāmaki Affordable Homes programme - 80 per cent of these are Māori and/or Pasifika families.
