“We had a tremendous response to the lottery held by the Kulamalu Hale Managing Agent, Hale Mahaolu, in April, however, there are still units available, especially in the 100% – 120% income limits”, says Carol Reimann, Director of Housing and Human Concerns for the County of Maui, owner of the project.

“The apartments are brand new in a beautiful upcountry location, close to shops, schools, businesses and public transportation. We anticipate a move in date of early September”, said Reimann.

Funded by the Affordable Housing Program and HOME program, a designated number of units are allocated per various income limits. Eligible incomes for the Kulamalu Hale range between 50% and 120% of the average median income. “This range allows us to reach various income brackets and provide rental amounts that fall within or even below the affordable rent guidelines”, said Reimann.

Currently a one person income range for eligibility would be between $25,940 and $62,240.

For a four-person family, the range would be between $37,050 and $88,920.

The rental amounts for a one bedroom unit range from $420 to 30% of qualified income up to a maximum of $1300 per month.

Two bedroom units range from $495 to 30% of qualified income up to a maximum of $1600 per month.

Applicants that meet the income categories between 50% and 120% AMI (see chart below) can be pre-qualified for a unit available now. Other qualification parameters apply.
