All Hands Working Together

Laulima means “all hands working together”. It is a Hawaiian word that symbolizes the goal of the partnership: to create affordable housing opportunities for low-income families across the state of Hawaii, and the practices of the partnership to work together to achieve that goal.

In all aspects of our projects, we work together with the community to achieve our goals. Collectiveness transcends into our projects and yields great benefits. This principle is important to our team, not only because it is rooted in Hawaiian culture, but because coming together is a beginning of something that will better the lives of people in the community. Laulima works to truly meet the needs of low-income families. Together the members bring complementary strengths to deliver a high-value product to a market that is traditionally the hardest to serve. Laulima

Development has extensive affordable housing and mixed-income housing experience in the Hawaii region. Working with city and county government and community partners to build low-income and workforce housing, we develop, construct, manage and preserve affordable housing that strengthens communities. These projects include housing in both urban and suburban areas and run the spectrum from new construction to adaptive re-use and substantial rehabilitation. We have been extremely effective in obtaining low-income housing tax credit allocations for our non-profit, for-profit, and housing authority clients under a very competitive application process. Laulima Development is proud of its achievements in the housing industry and its commitment to making quality affordable housing available for families, seniors, homeless, and persons with special needs.
