Rangahau - Wai 2750 research
Rangahau – The Research
Research is critical to the outcome of Wai 2750. It ensures there is a strong evidence base on both the issues raised by the claimants and the solutions needed to reset the housing system in partnership with Māori.
We acknowledge the mātauranga Māori of iwi, hapū and whānau and all that they travel with on their pathway. The rich resources of whakapapa, historical and contemporary knowledge, and kōrero tuku iho are taonga. We respect them as an essential part of understanding Māori housing needs and aspirations.
Research will be submitted to the Waitangi Tribunal by the Crown, Claimants and Waitangi Tribunal researchers for the Inquiry.
The Waitangi Tribunal will produce reports and recommendations for each stage of the Inquiry. The Crown and claimants will also submit research as part of their evidence to show how policies and services are developed and evaluated, and the impact this has on whānau.
Pre-Casebook Research Discussion Paper
The Tribunal has issued a paper that explores the availability of information and analysis to support the inquiry.
The discussion paper contains information on the inquiry and the history of Māori housing.

Tribunal research programme
The Waitangi Tribunal-commissioned research for stage two is underway. There are six key reports.
Claimant counsel and the Crown co-commissioned the Historical Māori Housing 1840 – 1934 report. The reports are due to be published by early 2023.
Research to support the Wai 2750 inquiry
Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga values evidence-based policy development, working both across government and externally with Māori housing providers to strengthen policy advice.
Collaborating with Māori housing providers through research commissioned in 2019 enabled Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga to engage with Māori, Iwi, hapū and whānau working at the frontline of homelessness. This created a space within the agency for Māori to influence policy development. Examples of this approach to research will be submitted for the Inquiry.
One way Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga has worked to support the Inquiry is by contributing research and statistics to the kete of knowledge being considered.
The table below is a compilation of what Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga has prepared to date. These are a record as at the time they were published and may not reflect more current, up-to-date information.
