KAHAUIKI VILLAGE

A plantation-style permanent supportive housing community for formerly homeless households

In 2015, Governor Ige issued an emergency proclamation regarding homelessness in Hawaii, sowing the seed for KV’s construction. For more information about the history of Kahauiki Village read our timeline.

A STEPPING STONE FOR FAMILIES AND KUPUNA

Through key partnerships with local businesses,
individuals, and organizations, Kahauiki Village
has created a supportive environment where
formerly homeless families and kupuna can not
only find stable housing, but also access the
resources and skills they need to build independent,
fulfilling lives. The success of Kahauiki Village
serves as an inspiration and a model for what can
be achieved when a community comes together
with a shared vision of ending homelessness.
