The Maui County government has donated seven lots in Kahului to a local nonprofit for the creation of affordable housing.
According to Hawaii Public Radio, the donation is part of 19 lots in a 1.5-acre parcel at Maui Lani that the county authorized to give to the nonprofit Nā Hale O Maui in 2022. The remaining 12 lots are currently being used for temporary housing for Maui wildfire survivors and will be donated to Nā Hale O Maui after the temporary housing is no longer needed.
The nonprofit plans will develop 50 homes on the lots for sale as residential homes to low- and moderate-income households.
“The County of Maui and Nā Hale O Maui are deeply committed to providing truly affordable housing opportunities for our dedicated workforce families,” said Nā Hale O Maui Executive Director Cassandra Abdul. “Our ongoing collaboration has reached a significant milestone with the generous donation of seven finished lots in the Fairways at Maui Lani.”
