PARK DEPUTY TO THE CHAIRMAN STATE OF HAWAI‘I DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS ROBERT J. HALL P.O. BOX 1879 EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I 96805 March 4, 2009 The Honorable Linda Lingle Governor, State of Hawai‘i State Capitol 415 South Beretania Street Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96813 Dear Governor Lingle: I am pleased to submit the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands’ 2008 Annual Report covering the period from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008. This time-frame saw the continuation of the implementation of our planning. Our master-planned communities of Kaupe‘a, consisting of 326 homes in Kapolei, 98 homes in Waiehu Kou 4 and 104 homes in Leiali‘i, Maui were completed during this period. A total of 1,006 single-family, residential lots were under construction during this time-frame--164 lots in Kēōkea/ Waiohuli, Maui; 359 lots in La‘i ‘Ōpua, Hawai‘i; 80 lots in Anahola, Kaua‘i and 403 lots at Kānehili in Kapolei. Most importantly, our Home Ownership Assistance Program (HOAP) has grown to now include job training and drug treatment as part of this critical program. The ability and knowledge to manage one’s own finances is the key to homeownership and financial independence. We have also initiated a program that takes a broader view of our communities because we understand the need for the entire ahupua‘a to be healthy. This program is our Regional Plan process and, next to our HOAP program, is having a significant impact on making life better for everyone in Hawai‘i. I look forward to the coming years as we prepare to have more native Hawaiians realize their dream of home ownership or land stewardship. On behalf of the Hawaiian Homes Commission and the staff of the department, I wish to thank you and the members of the state Legislature for your continued support of our program.
