Huliau Apartments

KAHULUI >> The first tenants of Maui County’s Huliau Apartments, designed for families who have fallen into homelessness, are expected to move in late April 2021 as renovations at the former University of Hawaii Maui College dormitory complex are complete.

The $5 million rental project’s first phase comprises 12 two-bedroom units in the three formerly vacant, run-down dorm buildings, plus a separate community center with laundry facilities, mailboxes and office space for social services. 

Hale Mahaolu will serve as property manager, with Family Life Center providing case management for tenants. Project funding came through a $5 million Dwelling Unit Revolving Funds grant through the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corp. Support for the first two years of operations, including property management and case management, will be provided through Ohana Zone funding from the state Legislature.
