The Hawaiʻi County Council recently voted 7-0 on the first reading of Bill 96 and its accompanying resolution to authorize the Office of Housing and Community Development to award over $17.3 million via the Affordable Housing Production Program.

The funding was made possible through Ordinance 22-77, passed by the County Council in June 2022, and signed into law by Mayor Mitch Roth. The law appropriates a minimum of $5 million per year to the Office of Housing and Community Development to facilitate programs that support, increase, and sustain the supply of affordable rental and owner-occupied housing on Hawai’i Island.

In total, 1,176 housing units in the affordable housing pipeline will be impacted by the infusion of funds.

In a press release Mayor Roth said, “We’re really excited about these funds. We had over 20 applicants and we have seven awardees, and this is just the first year of doing this. We look forward to giving out more money in the next few years to make sure that our local families can stay here on Hawaiʻi Island and live an amazing life.”

The seven projects selected to receive funding via the Affordable Housing Production Program were among 20 proposals that requested more than $55.4 million in funding.

The organizations and proposals selected for the funding include:

  • Kamakoa Nui LP aka Pacific Housing Assistance Corporation (Nā Hale Mākoa) – $2,000,000
  • Mental Health Kokua (Manago Mauo) – $5,500,000
  • Housing And Land Enterprise dba HALE ʻO Hawaiʻi (HALE ʻO Hawaiʻi County Pa Aliʻi Street)  – $300,000
  • Housing And Land Enterprise dba HALE ʻO Hawaiʻi (HALE ʻO Hawaiʻi County University Heights)   – $300,000
  • Hoʻomalu at Waikoloa LP aka Stanford Carr (Hoʻomalu at Waikoloa) – $3,000,000
  • Office of Housing and Community Development Community Development Division (Kamakoa Nui Workforce Housing Mini-Loop Road and Infrastructure Development) – $5,400,000
  • Hawaiʻi Island Community Development Corporation (Hale Ola ʻO Mohouli) – $824,559.46
