| Overview
|
| The University of Hawaii at West Oahu will use its HUD grant to assist in the construction of a resource center and funding of programs "to improve the well-being of the community." The resource center will be located in the Hale Makana O Nanakuli housing project. The housing facility will be located in the rural community known as the Wai`anae District, in a neighborhood called Nanakuli, which is largely made up of Native Hawaiians. The primary objective of Hale Makana O Nanakuli is to provide affordable long-term rental housing for families leaving the Wai`anae emergency shelter and/or transitional housing programs. The facility will serve not only the housing project residents, but the entire Wai`anae District and be used as a learning center to: educate and assist families in obtaining financing to purchase homes; teach financial literacy and provide tax preparation assistance; teach life management skills, such as drug rehabilitation, job rehabilitation, anger management, and other programs; teach health and fitness to the community; and inform and promote college education to high school students and their parents.
