#Native Community Development Financial Institution

The nonprofit homestead loan fund, Hawaiian Lending & Investments congratulates its employee of 6 years, Rolina Faagai on her transition to the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation.

“It’s the first time ever, that a loan prequalification has been issued to a farmer, since the Congress created HUD184a, something that our farmers and ranchers have been denied to even apply for, for more than 20 years,” said Robin Puanani Danner, chairwoman for the Sovereign Council of Hawaiian Homestead Associations.
