Homes for Kohala Survey 69 More affordable renting or housing so that young adults don't have to live with their parents till 12/2/20219:54 PM an older age. 70 This should only apply to people who are Kohala residents 12/2/20219:47 PM 71 1 believe that a lot of the younger age groups 18-30 should have more access to affordable 12/2/20219:23 PM housing. A lot of people I know including myself must live/stay with their parents after graduating high school or even after coming home from college and if they started a family of their own because of the cost of living in Hawaii. As a parent I would love to have my own space and home for my child and I to"start our life"on our own instead of having to live with grandma and papa. I feel that if there were more affordable or more construction of"self help" homes in North Kohala it would be an opportunity for us who were born and raised here to stay here and raise our own families in the place we love and call home and not have to move elsewhere because of not having access to affordable housing. 72 Not to see so many house be sold to people who have never set foot in kohala. 12/2/20219:18 PM 73 Bigger property 12/2/2021 8:39 PM 74 We need affordable housing ASAP! There's too much family members in one household 12/2/2021 8:18 PM because we can't move anywhere else. Can't even find a place in our home town. 75 Offer to North kohala residence first before outside people. Kohala residence turn to the 12/2/2021 8:05 PM mainland to survive. We need more help 76 Housing is such a big issue today, because of the high cost of living a lot of people are living 12/2/2021 8:05 PM in multi family homes or are even homeless. We are a family of 7 living in a one bedroom studio because of the lack of housing available and help. 77 In all honesty, it would be nice for people to rent/sell houses with local people first than people 12/2/2021 8:03 PM Who make much much more than us and live out of state. 78 Large landowners like Surety Kohala Cooperations, should contribute to such programs like 12/2/2021 7:44 PM affordable housing for our Kohala community and it's families. Many of years their company benefited from the community and families that toiled these lands, now it's time to give back to that same community and ohana. 79 It would be amazing for the younger generations in their 20's and 30's to be able to afford a 12/2/2021 7:35 PM home to raise their families. 80 I'm a single woman just turning 56. I'd be happy to share my land/space for others but 1 12/2/2021 7:22 PM deftwould love to have something to call my own and grow a garden and plant trees and share. 81 Self help housing , homestead agriculture subsidies , 50 year lease or affordable mortgage 12/2/20216:15 PM options 82 WE NEED AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR LOCALS! Living in Hawaii is already so so 12/2/20215:34 PM expensive@ 83 The affordable housing need could be met by not selling to people who are moving from 12/2/20215:16 PM outside of Hawai'i who do not have ties here, also stop marketing to people who are in a much higher income bracket. 84 My family raised me here, I've had an amazing childhood. And to being able to raise my family 12/2/20215:13 PM here is a big goal for me 85 1 built and lived in my self help Home for 17 years. I hope my kids can have similar 12/2/20215:11 PM opportunities at affordable housing. 86 Being born and raised here in North Kohala, I would love nothing more than to own my own 12/2/20215:10 PM home here where I grew up. If there is any assistants or programs out there that is willing to help someone like me make that dream possible then I'm all for it. 87 Less rich people buying our land. 12/2/20214:59 PM 88 Housing needs should be based off of if you are from Hawai'i. Locals born in Hawai'i, should 12/2/20214:53 PM be taken care of first before new arrivals 89 More self help and a more responsive application process! 12/2/20214:49 PM 5 /7
