HONOLULU (KHON2) – The City and County of Honolulu and the Hawai‘i Public Housing Authority are working together to rebuild the Kūhiō Park Terrace area in Kalihi.

Officials say the project will replace old housing with 302 new affordable homes and two manager units, which is a part of a plan to make one of O‘ahu’s biggest public housing areas safer and more modern.
Mayor Rick Blangiardi said this project will give families better homes and help improve the Kalihi community and it is time to invest in the future by creating safe and affordable homes for families.
“The Kūhiō Park Terrace community was originally built in the 1950s and 1960s, during a very different era for Honolulu,” said Mayor Rick Blangiardi. “While these homes have served families for generations, the time has come to invest in the future. This redevelopment will create safe, modern, and affordable homes while also strengthening the Kalihi community with the services and amenities families deserve.”
