In 2018 the OHCD started the Kulaimano Elderly Housing (KEH) Project Phase I renovations. This project included the installation of perimeter fencing, power washing and rust treating of the roofing to all structures. This project is scheduled to be completed in Summer of 2019. In 2018 construction of a certified kitchen at the West Hawaii Emergency Shelter began. The final completion of this project is scheduled for late Summer of 2019. Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans. The County continues to renovate the 50 -unit Kulaimano Elderly Housing Project site with CDBG funds through multi-year, phased projects. These renovations will include various ADA accessibility improvements, the installation of new mail boxes, improvements to the community center, addressing and/or the abatement of hazardous materials and site drainage. During FY 1849, the County continued to resolve pre -construction planning activities in the Waikoloa Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) area to meet HUD conditions for housing development. In December 2018, the Department of Army, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army, completed the Remedial Action Report (RARs) for four proposed multi -family housing sites, including the County's Kamakoa Nui site. Beginning in April 2019, the State of Hawaii's Department of Health (DOH) has issued "No Further Action with Institutional Controls Determination" letters for these four multi -family parcels. To date, one multi -family site developer, who is planning to use Project Base Vouchers has petitioned HUD to lift the sanctions to allow for the use of HUD funds. Pending HUD's determination, the Kaiaulu 0 Waikoloa project is s')ated to begin construction of 60 units to support low income residents (60% or lower AMI) in early 2020. In West Hawaii, construction of the Kaloko Heights Affordable Housing project is scheduled to begin in early 2020. This project will be a phased multifamily complex consisting of 111 units, which will provide affordable housing to extremely low, very low and low income families. Home Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds and the National Housing Trust (HTF) funds will be utilized in the lst phase of the project. The County is also in the planning and design phase of additional improvements to the West Hawaii Emergency Shelter. These improvements will include, but are not limited to, the installation of a fire suppression sprinker system, security lighting and fencing , solar water heaters, photovoltaic panels and an accessible water fountain. In addition, the County has begun the planning process for a second homeless facility with wrap around support services in West Hawaii. The site will accomodate homeless individuals, as well as some permanent supportive housing. As plans crystalize, CDBG and HOME funds will be needed. The County remains optimistic that construction planning will proceed in FY 2019-2020 and that HUD conditions for development in the FUDS will be met. As such, the County plans to pursue additional CAPER 18 OMB Control No. 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
