New Hawaiian Homes Developments Planned On Big Island (March 12, 2024) 

Too little too late.

if they don't allow you to own the property then its just a waste of time and money from the hawaiian ppl.

This is sad too many Hawaiian families can't afford these homes and even if they can I think they're trying to get them to move over to the big island so they'll forget about Lahaina

28,000 Hawaiians on the list, im Hawaiian and not on the list because i know ill never get anything anyway

meanwhile, only 287 out of 807 families that lost their property in the 2018 eruption have received compensation

I think they should avoid building single use housing and prioritize multi-use development, so that it’s more livable especially for the kupuna that aren’t able to drive or don’t want to drive as much.

🙄you never own the land?! How can that be a benefit 🤣😢😡& den dey tell you what you can & what you cant do.

Not sure there is demand for all these homes. I am here now and have not bumped into one native Hawaiian yet.

So let's pave paradise to build suburbia. Honomu and Akaka Falls are ruined by new Hawaiian Homelands development. Over 600 lots abutting Akaka Falls above our town. No consideration for protecting the aina. Supposed to be ag but looking more and more like suburbia. And all those people having to use the only road in and out through our tiny town.

Do the applicants still need to be 50% Hawaiian?

The haole guy on the council or whatever this is sounds concerned because he must realize people waiting for homes but as usual the people in charge slow.

So where is the dhhl ag land for Kona?

Panaewa is already owned by DHHL Building houses now is most logical

This is great except what they should really be doing is selling the houses at an affordable cost including the land and just require it be kept in the family and not resold. That would keep the housing with the native families rather than having the house taken back over by hawaiian homelands simply because the blood quantum of future generations NATURALLY gets less and less as people marry who they love not based on the color or nationality of their skin.

Apartheid by banks 😢

I’m sure it’s legit.
