Oahu’s quest for affordable housing takes new stride with Mayor Rick Blangiardi’s recent announcement. Yesterday, Blangiardi named Kevin Auger as the new executive director of the City’s Office of Housing. Auger, who served as deputy director since July 2023, brings nearly four decades of valuable experience to the table. His promotion follows the departure of the former executive director Denise Iseri-Matsubara, who transitioned to a new role with Catholic Charities Hawaiʻi.
