According to the Office of Housing and Community Development (OHCD), this property is a viable candidate for Section 201H approval for a mixed-use development with substantially more affordable or workforce units that qualify for funding by Hawaii Housing and Financing Corporation (HHFDC).
Per the Office of the Governor website: Hawaii has the most expensive housing prices in the United States because it has failed to sufficiently build homes for its residents. The current housing shortage has led to a crisis of increasing homelessness and migration to the mainland which threatens the ‘ohanas and way of life across Hawaii. The Proclamation Relating to Housing was first signed by Governor Green on July 17, 2023. On September 15, 2023, Governor Green signed the Emergency Proclamation Relating to Affordable Housing, which prioritized the many state and affordable housing projects with the goal to simply and speed up the Section 201H application approval through the State versus the County Council.
