PBR HAWAII completed master plans and prepared and processed a HRS Chapter 343 Final EA/ FONSI for the proposed LaʻiʻŌpua Villages – Village 9 project, which consists of two subprojects: 1) County of Hawai‘i Kukuiola homeless emergency shelters and permanent supportive housing; and 2) a Hawaiʻi Housing Finance and Development Corporation affordable rental housing complex. The project site (approximately 36 acres) is at the corner of Kealakehe Parkway and Ane Keohokālole Highway in West Hawaiʻi. As the Kukuiola project qualifies for federal funding from US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), PBR HAWAII also completed a NEPA EA/FONSI. This “paved the way” for a ceremonial groundbreaking on January 26, 2023.
