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.
