Corrina Davis
Read bio
I’ve been closely involved with Tai Tokerau Emergency Housing Charitable Trust since its inception, and remain deeply committed to its mission. During my time as a Project Manager with Housing New Zealand, I helped expand the emergency housing portfolio to better serve Whangārei hapori, ensuring more responsive and culturally grounded support for those in need.
Over the past 12 years, I’ve worked extensively in the social housing sector, contributing to national programmes and supporting the delivery of the first two Māori Housing Partnership loans in Te Tai Tokerau. My broader career spans eight years in the healthcare sector and three in education, reflecting a strong foundation in community-focused service delivery.
It’s a privilege to serve as a Board member for Tai Tokerau Emergency Housing Charitable Trust, an organisation that not only provides essential services, but does so with compassion, integrity, and a deep respect for the communities it serves.
