COMPREHENSIVE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PLAN: PRIORITY PROJECTS (AH-14(8))
Description
The Committee is in receipt of correspondence dated July 1, 2021, from Hawaiian Community Assets, Inc., transmitting their final report entitled “Maui County Comprehensive Affordable Housing Plan.” The plan is intended to provide a roadmap for the County to meet housing demands for residents, focusing on households at, or below 120 percent area median income.
The plan identifies 36 priority projects that are projected to provide an estimated 4,311 income-restricted rental and ownership units in the next five years. The plan ranks the priority projects as Tier 1, 2, or 3, based on project readiness, as defined on page 39 of the plan. Tier 1 projects are in the implementation phase; Tier 2 projects are in the concept or development phase, or require removal of barriers; and Tier 3 projects require further research.
