Selection Saturday Roundup!

Many thanks to the 44 families who made it to our “Selection Saturday”. What a joy it was for our family to see our potential new buyers in Waikapu Gardens Phase 2 come by to pick out their cabinets, floor coverings, and upgrades. The excitement could be seen on all their faces. It is because of them that we do what we do. Our only regret is not inviting our Maui County Council members to attend so that they could see first hand the real crisis that exists in our County by the lack of affordable housing and the local families who are in need. Hopefully, some of them are subscribed to this blog and can see the pictures below of some of the families that showed up on Saturday.

Work is progressing on our site work and our roads were paved just in time for Thanksgiving. We are now constructing the many retaining walls needed throughout the project so that we can begin house construction soon. Everyone is asking when the houses will be ready. We had hoped to begin house construction in December, but getting our building permits processed is taking much longer than we would like. David Goode and the folks at the Public Works Department are doing their best to process the dozens of permit applications we’ve submitted, but unfortunately they have to be routed to other agencies as well. We are extremely optimistic that we will break ground for our first homes in early January and hope to get our first families moved in sometime in April. What an exciting day that will be for us all.
