Out of ashes, home again: Kaiāulu o Kūku‘ia grand opening celebrated

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

Residents moving into the complex say there's no feeling like finally having a home.

An estimated 200 affordable rentals are under construction in Lahaina as part of the Kaiāulu o Kūku′ia project, which includes Hawaiʻi’s very first Bezos Academy preschool.
