Nā Hale O Maui today announced the completion of its Kahoma permanently affordable workforce housing project in Lahaina. The organization began efforts in 2012 to purchase 12 finished lots from West Maui Land, aiming to build truly affordable homes for island families who live and/or work in West Maui. The project was delayed for several years due to a legal battle with the Land Use Commission over development entitlements, but NHOM ultimately secured the lots and moved forward with planning and construction.
Mākena Golf & Beach Club for hosting 3rd Annual Charity Golf Tournaments that provided approximately $115,000.
As part of the project, three homebuyers received Matching Down Payment Assistance Grants from Nā Hale, and one received County of Maui assistance. The organization now holds title to the leased land under 46 affordable homes around Maui. Over the past 14 years, Nā Hale O Maui has helped local families become homeowners through its Community Land Trust model. NHOM continues to seek new opportunities to expand affordable housing across Maui.
