Hawaii County hosts housing summit to update affordable housing rules, requiring 10% low-income units and long-term affordability safeguards.
A Hawaii County housing summit on November 30 gathered residents to discuss proposed changes to affordable housing rules, aiming to strengthen developer requirements and long-term affordability.
The draft update to Chapter 11 would require projects with five or more units to meet affordable housing obligations through construction, rentals, or credits, with at least 10% reserved for low-income households.
Affordable homes would face resale and rental restrictions for 15 and 25 years, respectively, and the county plans to dedicate $15 million annually to a housing production fund.
The final report is expected in December, with new rules set for introduction in early 2026.
