SUMMARY:Aloha Chapter: Kahauiki Village
DESCRIPTION:The Aloha Chapter met for its quarterly luncheon meeting on Fri
 day\, September 07\, 2018\, at the Oahu Country Club to hear a presentatio
 n by Mel Kaneshige and Duane Kirisu describing their innovative and succes
 sful low-income-homeless residential project\, Kahauiki Village. Located o
 n state property at Sand Island\, on a vacant 11.3 acre commercial-industr
 ial parcel near Honolulu’s commeercial waterfront\, the project presentl
 y houses 30 families in 18 2-bedroom 540 sq. ft. and 12 1 -bedroom 324 sq.
  ft. units consisting of reassembled and refurbished units which formerly 
 held evacuees from Japan’s earthquake in 2008. To qualify for occupancy\
 , a family must be coming from a transitional residential facility for the
  homeless – mainly from the Institute for Human Services which also mana
 ges the Village- and have access to employment income sufficient to cover 
 the rent of $900 a month for the 2-bedroom units and $725 a month for the 
 one-bedroom units. The housing is not transitional: residents may stay as 
 long as the rent is paid\; the state has leased the land (for one dollar) 
 for an initial 10-year period\, renewable for an additional 10 years. The 
 first phase took only 6 months to complete - housing units\, laundry\, rec
 reational center and day-care center – and when fully built out in 2020 
 the Village will have a total of 144 units\, at a cost of $115\,000 per un
 it. Including all utility costs pro rated.\, housing over 600 formerly hom
 eless people. The Village is within walking distance of a public elementar
 y school. Several local businesses contributed furniture and appliances. T
 he Village and its purpose appears to be a rousing success\, and the two p
 resenters – one a retired executive with a major hotel management and co
 nstruction corporation – received a rousing round of applause.\n\nDavid
