Kaiwahine Village Phase I

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, residents began moving into Kaiwahine Village Phase I in Kihei, Maui in May. The 120 homes are being rented to households earning 30 to 60 percent of the area median income with rents starting at $510 for a two-bedroom unit and $571 for a three-bedroom unit. Ikaika Ohana developed the project in South Maui where high construction costs have limited development in an area with a severe affordable housing shortage. A blessing is planned for a later date. 

“Maui has been hit the hardest during this pandemic with the highest unemployment rate in the state,” said Governor David Ige, “The need for affordable housing has never been greater and we commend everyone who worked through these challenging times to make these projects possible.”
