Maui County Department of Housing to host Nov. 19 community meeting on Komohana Hale rebuild

Lahaina community members are encouraged to attend a County of Maui Department of Housing meeting on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2026, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Lahaina to hear about updated designs for rebuilding Komohana Hale, an affordable rental housing complex destroyed by the 2023 Maui Wildfires.

The meeting, which builds on feedback gathered at previous community meetings, will be held at the Komohana Hale site, 120 Leoleo St., Lahaina.

Situated on a 1.86-acre parcel (TMK: (2) 4-6-034:043) bounded by Honoapiʻilani Highway and the Lahaina Recreation Center, the site originally contained two buildings with 20 one-bedroom units constructed in 1989. Following debris and hazardous material removal by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the County Department of Housing is in the process of evaluating options for restoring and expanding affordable rental housing on the property.

Based on community preferences and regional housing market studies, the project team updated two alternative development options that transition the property from 100% one-bedroom units to an assortment of single-bedroom and multi-bedroom family housing to serve broader community needs.
