    Aloha Councilmembers,

    I am writing on behalf of Maui-founded nonprofit, Hawaii Community Lending, Inc (HCL), to STRONGLY SUPPORT the Hale Pilina Family Rental Housing Project and its requested revisions.

    The project was identified as a priority project in the Maui County Comprehensive Affordable Housing Plan and will deliver 173 affordable rental housing units Maui residents so desperately need. The Council has received testimony showing overwhelming support for the project and moved to approve the project under chapter 2.97, as a 100% affordable housing project, in November 2021.

    Under the improved site plan, the project seeks to increase the number of 2 bedroom apartments to better accommodate our larger families who often struggle to find rentals because of their household size. At the same time additional parking spaces have been added. Finally, the project will increase access to critical social services for the community by expanding from 1 multi-purposes room to dedicate 2 buildings for multi-purpose use.

    Please take action to support the Hale Pilina Family Rental Housing Project and requested revisions. Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 808.587.7653 or jeff@hawaiiancommunity.net.
