OPENING OF PALOLO VALLEY HOMES and KUHIO PARK TERRACE PROJECT-BASED WAITING LISTS

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) in accordance with §15-185-28, Hawaii Administrative Rules, Hawaii Revised Statutes, regulations outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the HPHA’s Section 8 Administrative Plan, will temporarily reopen the waiting list for applicants with a preference.

The HPHA will have the waiting list open for applicants to apply for the following programs:

May 25th, 2022 thru May 27th, 2022

Palolo Valley Homes Project-Based (Bedroom sizes: 2, 3, 4, and 5)
Kuhio Park Terrace Project-Based (Bedroom sizes: 3, and 4)
Kuhio Park Terrace RAD Project-Based (Bedroom sizes: 1, 2, and 3)

The online application portal will be opened for five days starting on May 25th, 2022, at 8:00 a.m. and close on May 27, 2022, at 4:30 p.m.

What is Project-base: The project-based voucher (PBV) program allows PHAs that already administer a tenant-based voucher program under an annual contributions contract (ACC) with HUD to take up to 20 percent of its authorized units and attach the funding to specific units rather than using it for tenant-based assistance [24 CFR 983.6]. PHAs may only operate a PBV program if doing so is consistent with the PHA’s Annual Plan, and the goal of deconcentrating poverty and expanding housing and economic opportunities
[42 U.S.C. 1437f(o)(13)].

How do I submit an application? Pre-applications can only be submitted online. Devices such as mobile phones and tablets with Internet access may be used.
