Their work focuses on the critical “missing rung” in Hawaiʻi’s housing ladder—serving ALIC E households (Asset Limited\, Income Constrained\, Employed)\, as well as individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness.\n\nThrou gh a nonprofit development model and strong public‑private partnerships\ , HomeAid Hawaiʻi brings together government agencies\, private sector pa rtners\, and community organizations to unlock land opportunities\, reduce development costs\, and share resources. Their approach demonstrates a pr actical and replicable pathway to making deeply affordable housing both fe asible and scalable across the state.\n\nMuch of this work is currently be ing advanced through the State’s Kauhale Initiative\, with increasing i nterest from counties exploring similar approaches. A key factor in these projects has been access to land—whether through donation or reduced cos t—which can significantly improve feasibility. One example that will be highlighted is the Alana Ola Pono Kauhale\, where land contribution playe d a pivotal role in achieving deeply affordable rents.\n\nDuring this sess ion\, you can expect to learn about:\n\n HomeAid Hawaiʻi’s nonprofit d evelopment model\n Innovative strategies to address homelessness and hous ing insecurity\n Opportunities for industry and community involvement to help expand these efforts\n\nThis program will be especially valuable for members interested in land use\, development\, housing policy\, real estat e economics\, and public‑private partnerships.\n\nWe encourage you to jo in us for what promises to be an insightful and meaningful discussion on s olutions that are making a real difference in Hawaiʻi’s housing landsca pe.\n\nWe look forward to seeing you there.\n\nAbout our Presenter\n\nKimo Carvalho serves as Chief Executive Officer of HomeAid Hawaiʻi\, where he leads statewide efforts to create housing solutions for individuals exp eriencing homelessness and households at risk of housing instability.
