The package also establishes funding for a Māori and iwi housing and innovation fund, Te Maihi o Te Whare Māori, to create opportunities for building housing for whānau and the jobs that go with it. More than $20 million has been allocated to a cadetship programme to support re-skilling and career development opportunities. Further initiatives to support Māori education are supported in order to ensure that the effects of COVID-19 do not take away from the earlier investments made by the Government. This includes programmes to sustain kōhanga reo and revitalising Te Reo Māori.
