The Organizing Priority

Kaiāulu o Kūku‘ia is the first affordable housing development to be built in Lahaina since a deadly 2023 wildfire.

Hundreds of Lahaina fire survivors are now settling into Maui’s first affordable housing project since the 2023 fire disaster.

The grand opening and blessing of Kaiāulu o Kūku‘ia Thursday morning marked an emotional milestone in West Maui’s recovery, becoming the first newly built, permanent multifamily affordable housing project to open for local families since the August 2023 wildfires.
