A little over two months ago, we opened the doors to the first 10 homes at Ka Laʻi Ola. Since then, we’ve been making steady progress. We’re pleased to announce that Phase 1A is now complete, adding 43 more homes to the community. This brings the total to 53 homes, providing much-needed stability for displaced families. Phase 1B and additional phases are underway, with more modular homes being set up. Meanwhile, work on the offsite Honokowai water system continues, marking a key step in improving the area’s infrastructure. As we move forward, our commitment to building with care and creating a safe and supportive home for our residents remains our top priority. #KaLaiOla #BuildingWithCare #Progress

Shannon lived on the streets for nearly 14 years until she found a home at a kauhale. She’s now a resident of Ka Mālu Koʻolau Kauhale in Kāneʻohe, the third community developed as part of Governor Green’s Kauhale Initiative. In partnership with the state, HomeAid Hawaiʻi planned, designed and built the community, with Project Vision Hawai'i providing services and operating it. Despite her own health challenges, Shannon continues to support others and stay involved in her community.

In June, UNLIMITED CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC. hosted their Laulima Golf Tournament at Poipu Bay Golf Course, bringing together generous organizations and individuals for a friendly day of competition.

Following the devastating wildfires in Hawaii, our Taylor Morrison family raised a significant amount of money for the Maui Housing Initiative Fund. The money was used to help with reconstruction, as HomeAid Hawaii has plans to develop upwards of 500 homes for the displaced residents of Lahaina and the surrounding areas. We are elated to share that a year after the unimaginable loss, Lahaina families were welcomed into the very first pod of homes called Ka La’i Ola, which means the place of peaceful recovery, and is Maui’s largest interim housing development for wildfire survivors. 🌺 #ThisisTMLiving
