Kaukamana Hale Subdivision

One just has to look at the beaches on the Leeward Coast to see tent after tent of homeless families to understand the need for affordable housing. Current trends in the marketplace have made homeownership virtually impossible for all in the 50% of median income range. The average home prices in Hawaii are soaring over $600,000 and there has been a large jump in rental prices.

In order to help solve the housing crisis on Oahu and provide affordable housing to low income families, the Leeward Habitat affiliate made a bold move and purchased a 3.21 acre parcel of land to create a 31 home subdivision. Homes will range from two to six bedrooms dependent on family size. In addition, families will be able to bring their children to play in a safe place in the common area park. The park will also serve as a storm drainage basin.

Leeward Habitat recently held three information sessions for families interested in applying for this project. Nearly 500 families attended in hopes of qualifying for an affordable Habitat home! The outpouring of need for affordable housing on the Leeward Coast is vast and critical.

The subdivision allows for the expansion of the mission of Habitat for Humanity Leeward Oahu. The affiliate can now focus on the neediest of families and not be limited in the number built to those having land.
