RaWiri Community House have leased a state house since 2019, and have until June 30 to vacate.

A community house in one of Auckland's most vulnerable communities will stay open after Kāinga Ora agreed to extend its lease with Auckland Council.

Kāinga Ora (KO) had ordered RaWiri Community House in Wiri, Manurewa, to vacate by 30 June because of a housing shortage - but the government's rental housing arm has now agreed to extend the lease.

The house, one of four KO homes leased by Auckland Council, offered valuable services to the south Auckland community.
