(HOPE), to develop a low- income rental housing project in the Pahoa community to serve single -parent households with children, a vulnerable population in need of affordable housing. The project will include 15 low- income rental units, community center to house essential services for the clients, and circulation, parking and landscaping. Attached is a location map and preliminary site plan of the project. The HICDC has requested, in its efforts to increase affordable housing inventory, additional water units to serve the needs of its Pahoa Affordable Housing Project (Project). Per the attached letter, the Department of Water Supply (Department) has indicated that there are only two (2) remaining water units available for the area of the Project. Since the HICDC-HOPE partnership will result in housing that will truly meet affordable housing needs in the Pahoa community, we request within your means to accommodate this request to reallocate 14 water units to service the rental units and community center. Thank you for your key support to address affordable housing and homeless initiatives in our many communities. Please call Roy Takemoto at (808) 961-8565 if you have any questions or need further clarification.
