Making Home Affordable

The Modified Self-Help Homes project resulted in the development and construction of 22 four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes for waitlist families that were ineligible to purchase homes from for-profit developers. The home prices ranged from $160,000 to $185,000. 

Through our Modular Tiny Homes for Owner Builders project, we are providing assistance to families that are building tiny homes on vacant trust land lots. Floor plans include a 320 square foot studio unit, a 480 square foot one-bedroom unit, and a 640 square foot two-bedroom unit. 

A pilot tiny home has been constructed on Kauai and serves as a model home.

Currently in the predevelopment phase, our Maili 50-Unit Rental project will create 50 rental units on fee-simple land near one of the largest homestead areas in Oahu for low-income families, teachers, and medical professionals. This project is being developed in partnership with Rural Community Assistance Corporation.

Our Pilot Homestead 4-Plex Affordable Rental Units project in the design and predevelopment phase is working to develop a replicable model that will produce 4-plex structures consisting of studio and one-bedroom micro-rental units that will be managed by homestead associations on every island.
