Habitat Maui received 142 applications for single family homes it is building as part of the subdivision. Applicants were screened to ensure they met Habitat’s criteria to be a “partner homeowner,” and those who passed were entered into a lottery overseen by Maui County’s Director of Housing and Human Concerns, Carol Reimann.

Reimann, who was also present for the ground breaking and lot selection ceremony said, “Kudos to Habitat for making home ownership a reality for working families in Maui County. It was chicken-skin as families made their lot selections.”

Habitat Maui is raising funds to help build these 10 Lahaina homes, as well as a new home build in the Waiohuli Hawaiian Homelands upcountry and two renovations in Wailuku.
