Location: Ma’ili, Wai’anae, O’ahu
Type: Multi-Family Affordable Rental Housing Development
Units: 52
Status: Completed
This multi-family rental housing development was completed in January 2021 and has created an affordable community environment for the Waianae Coast. The project was designed by Architects Hawaii, and was developed by Hawaiian Community Development Board, in partnership with Pacific Development Group and 3 Leaf.
Hawaiian Community Development Board, in partnership with Pacific Development Group and 3 Leaf, developed the Hale Makana O Maili (HMoM) project, a 52-unit multi-family affordable rental housing development.
The development is on a 1.95 acre portion of a 2.78 acre parcel in the ili of Maili, in the ahupua‘a of Lualualei, in the district of Waiʻanae on the island of Oʻahu. The development consists of 6 buildings, a central park with a children’s play structure, ample parking and a community resource center. The property was acquired using grant funds from the City & County of Honolulu. The $22 million funding for the development was obtained from the City & County of Honolulu and the State's Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corp.
The primary purpose of the project is to provide much-needed, long-term affordable housing to the Waianae Coast communities. It is designed to serve individuals and families with a 30%, 50% or 60% Area Median Income (AMI) with quality affordable housing options where they can feel secure and proud of their home. Based on the high demand for affordable housing among current residents of the Waianae Coast and HCDB’s prior experience in the area, it was anticipated that the residents at HMoM will predominantly be very low and extremely low income individuals and families with existing roots in the community.
