Supporting disabled people in Hawke's Bay
We support you to explore and experience your good life. We can support you to live in the community in a home that meets your needs. We are a not for profit charity with a local approach.
We lead social change with with courage, care, and aroha.
How we are of service to you
This is your journey in your own waka. You decide what direction you want to go in. You choose who will paddle in your waka to support you. You lead your regular waka hui meetings with all the people paddling in your waka.
We acknowledge artist Tāwera Tahuri for the art that shows how we journey with you through life.

A home that meets your needs
We can support you to find a home that meets your needs. We can be of service to you in your own home if you want to rent or own a house. You can explore moving into a house that’s operated by Enliven Disability to experience what it’s like.
Enliven Disability doesn’t have a set housing model that you need to fit into. We serve people in all sorts of different living environments. We have accessible homes in Napier and Hastings.

We are building accessible homes
There are not enough accessible homes in Hawke’s Bay. We don’t want to see younger disabled people living in aged care or in places that don’t suit their needs. We are building Rowan Apartments so that we can support more people to explore and experience their good life.
