Letter: Maui affordable housing project to break ground
At the end of the year, Catholic Charities Hawaii (CCH) expects to begin construction of its “Hale Pilina” multifamily affordable housing project in Kahului, Maui. Located on the site between the Kahului Post Office and Christ the King Church, this planned 178-unit development will provide rentals at or below 60% of the Maui area median Income for qualifying Maui County families.
There are many who are responsible for the success thus far, beginning with the support of Mayor Richard Bissen, Maui County’s director of the Housing and Human Concerns Department, and the Maui County Council. With the latter recently approving county funds of up to $10 million to supplement the total project cost, construction can now move forward.
As a member of the Maui Leadership Council of CCH, I personally express my gratitude to those who made it happen. Mahalo.
