HONOLULU — State and city officials broke ground Friday on a much-anticipated affordable housing project that will create some 800 units for qualified seniors on underutilized Hawaii Public Housing Authority property in Kalihi.
“When people ask what’s most important, it’s affordability – the ability to have housing available for our kupuna, our keiki, the next generation,” said Gov. Josh Green at a ceremony at the site on Friday. “It comes back to that over and over and over again and the way we touch affordability, more than anything, is making sure that people’s rents or mortgages are much lower.”
