■ HOUSING Helping low-ineome Hawaiians build their homes is a growing part of OHA's efforts. In Anahola on Kaua'i, working with a $1.7 million OHA no-interest loan, the Kaua'i Habitat for Humanity is helping 100 low-ineome Hawaiian families build their own homes. And on the Big Island, when delays and material losses stalled progress, an OHA grant of $61,000 helped 22 Hawaiian homestead families finish construction of their homes. In Waimānalo on O'ahu, OHA staff and funding 2re helpirig this town develop commercial and community centers for the Hawaiian homestead area, plus create 65 apartments for Hawaiian elderly (kūpuna). Making safe, decent and affordable housing accessible for all Hawaiians: that is the vision of OHA. Working with or through organizations like the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), community development organizations, public and private agencies, and non-profit charitable groups like Habitat for Humanity, OHA's vision is gradually becoming a reality.
