Subject: Support for Res. 51-25, Hualalai Court Workforce Housing Project
To the Members of the Hawaii County Council,
Thank you for your approval to move Resolution 51-25 for Hualalai Court Affordable Workforce
Housing through committee. We appreciate your commitment to finding affordable housing
solutions within our community.
We are writing in support of Res. 51-25 to build 104 affordable apartments for the Hualalai Court
Affordable Housing Project in Hilo. This project would provide for a total of 104 affordable
housing units for local families with household incomes earning no more than 100% of the area
median income level. The project as proposed would be constructed within the urban core of
Hilo and within proximity to employment opportunities, health care and social services, schools,
and other basic family services and needs. Further, the location is also conducive to and
supports multi-modal transportation, giving it proximity to those services and needs mentioned.
The Hawai'i Island Housing Coalition is committed to identifying and addressing not only the
barriers and obstacles to increasing the attainable housing unit inventory and supply for our
island residents but also exploring and advocating for potential solutions that may be viable
options for our local families.
In closing we would like to thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony in support of
Resolution 51-25 and;respectfully request your consideration and support of this measure that
may provide essential and affordable housing for as many as 104 local families.
it
Thank you,
Hawaii Island Housing Coalition Poi
Vibrant Hawaii :)
