HPHA Groundbreaking for Phase One of Kūhiō Park Low Rises

The state of Hawai'i marked a historic milestone in its commitment to community housing with the groundbreaking of Phase one of the Kūhiō Park Low Rises and Homes development. This project highlights the state's ongoing dedication to creating inclusive, sustainable and affordable living spaces for residents.

The new development aims to support those who qualify for Project-Based Vouchers and renters earning between 30% to 80% of the Area Median Income. It will replace outdated structures with modern, accessible units that meet current safety standards, while also expanding open spaces and community amenities.

Phase one will feature approximately 304 affordable housing units, along with amenities such as playgrounds, picnic areas, a community meeting room, management offices, elevators, laundry facilities, internet-enabled computers, walking and fitness paths and community gardens - fostering a vibrant, accessible neighborhood for all.

In addition, Governor Green officially proclaimed December 2025 as "Hawai'i Public Housing Authority Month" to honor the agency's 90 years of service and its ongoing efforts to provide affordable housing solutions across the state.
