Subject: Support for Honua`ula Living Community
Aloha Councilmember Inaba:
I am writing in strong support of Honua`ula Living Community's 201H application to build 112 affordable
apartments in your district.
Our communities have been dealing with problems associated with the lack of affordable housing for a long time and
the Covid crisis has made it that much more urgent. Our island would greatly benefit from your approval of
Honua`ula Living Community to effectively address this issue.
The lack of affordable housing affects our teacher shortage.
The lack of affordable housing affects our teacher retention.
The lack of affordable housing affects our teacher recruitment.
Our community is ready and willing to support Honua`ula Living Community because the time has come to keep
great teachers here in our Kealakehe complex.
I hope that through the approval of Honua`ula Living Community's 201H application, our County will move closer to
effectively address this long-standing issue and provide our residents with much needed housing.
Thank you for considering Honua`ula Living Community's 201H application.
Sincerely,
Pohai Kirkland
