A 5-year lease
The 57 acres will be leased short-term (5 years) to the State of Hawaiʻi Department of Human Services (DHS) by the Hawaiʻi Housing & Finance Development Corporation (HHFDC).
Following the 5-year effort, the State of Hawaiʻi will commit the land and the permanent infrastructure provided by the development to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), thereby fast tracking DHHL development for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries by 17 years.
Services
Ka Laʻi Ola will provide property management and community services to support residents’ ability to heal, recover, and rebuild their lives.
Disaster Case Managers will support residents with access to resources, providing trauma informed services with consideration to post-traumatic conditions, community trauma, and with a clinical perspective to healing and recovery.
Together with neighboring community leaders and temporary housing beneficiaries we will work together to plan and co-design community and amenity buildings, a resiliency center, wayfinding, landscaping, and other essential components.
