Sales Program
Pacific Housing Assistance Corporation completed its first two homeownership developments in the mid-1980s. Hoʻakea Subdivision, completed in 1986, is a 152-unit single-family community located in ʻEwa, Oʻahu, and includes two-, three-, and four-bedroom "expandable" fee-simple homes. Purchase prices in the subdivision ranged from $65,000 to $80,000.
Kilauea Estates, a 49-unit single-family fee-simple subdivision located on Kauaʻi, is the corporation's third for-sale development. Completed in 1998, Kilauea Estates was constructed with loan funds from the County of Kauaʻi Pakuʻi Housing Program. The Pakuʻi Housing Program was established in 1992 with federal emergency disaster funding granted to the county in the aftermath of Hurricane Iniki. Three single-story, three-bedroom, two-bath models with sales prices ranging from $159,500 to $161,900 were sold to families earning at or below 80% of the area median income for Kauaʻi. The project also included a two-story, three-bedroom, two-bath model for $178,000.
