Hōhepa Homes Trust Board

The Hōhepa Homes Trust Board (The Trust Board) was established in 1956 to establish a residential community for people with intellectual disabilities in New Zealand.

The National Trust Board oversees Hōhepa properties in regions, with the services provision governed through regional boards. These Boards have family representatives and a mix of additional people with specific business skills such as Financial, Legal and Social Services backgrounds, to provide strong and informed governance.

The Trust Board is responsible for the effective governance of Hōhepa in accordance with its trust deed.

The Trust Board maintains a close relationship with the Ministry of Health and is acknowledged by the ministry as a high quality provider of services to its clients.

A subsidiary company, Hōhepa Services Ltd, holds contracts for service delivery with the Ministry of Health (Residential Services), Ministry of Social Development (Vocational and Community Participation Support Services) and Ministry of Education (Hōhepa Hawkes Bay School).
