The Hāpai Kaumātua Grant is here to uplift and support our kaumātua during this time of rising living costs.
Grounded in manaaki-tanga, it provides practical assistance with care and respect,
helping to uphold your mana and support your wellbeing.
It is about whakamana - enabling you to continue living well, staying connected with your whānau, feeling supported,
and maintaining your dignity and independence.
