New Aiea affordable senior complex  seeking  applicants

After welcoming its first tenants earlier this summer, a new, all-affordable, all-senior rental apartment complex is continuing to accept applicants.

Located at the site of former Aiea Sugar Mill, the 140-unit Aloha Iā Hālewilikō project targets households earning between 30 percent and 60 percent of Area Median Income (AMI).

Using the calculations determined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), rent is estimated to be between $729 and $1,627 monthly.

The project was developed by the nonprofit EAH Housing. The Hawaiʻi Housing Finance and Development provided key financial assistance that included tax credits and low-interest loans.

Among the outdoor features of the project are a centrally located multipurpose room. EAH has partnered with nonprofit Lanakila Pacific to provide dedicated kupuna services such as meal distribution, digital literacy programs and healthy living support.

The Affordable Housing Pipeline Dashboard tracks hundreds of affordable projects in the development pipeline since the start of the Green Administration. Data was collected from publicly-available sources to identify projects where a proportion of the units have affordability restrictions or are Department of Hawaiian Home Lands homesteads. These projects are tracked across seven phases of housing development to provide greater insight into when projects will be completed and what hurdles they face.
