Eleele Iluna Subdivision

We’d like to take a moment to offer a special thanks to Chris and Joan Davies, long-time Habitat volunteers, world travelers, and all around great folks who spent their winter volunteering at our construction site. They contributed a total of 230 volunteer hours and in addition to building homes, they also built a strong rapport with our staff and homeowners....

On Friday, March 26, 2021 Kaua'i Habitat for Humanity passed the keys to five new homes on Kaua'i. It marked the end of the long but rewarding journey (made especially difficult by this past years obstacles), of building ones own home. The deserving homebuyers include Nerissa Durant, Cosme Amulacion, Robert Williams, Zachary Kawai, and Russ Kanahele. These homebuyers achieved a tremendous...

Here at Kaua'i Habitat for Humanity we are fortunate enough to have three of these amazing individuals addressing the affordable housing crisis on Kaua'i.

The experience is designed to encourage them to investigate a topic of their choosing based...

Unfortunately, it’s that time again…….when we have to say “goodbye” to another AmeriCorps service member. Lauren Sarg joined us as a second term AmeriCorps service member back in February 2020 after serving her first term at Habitat East Bay/Silicone Valley. Lauren was a patient and gracious team member from the start. AmeriCorps members commit to spending 10 1/2 months addressing critical...

Here at Kaua'i Habitat we have been so fortunate to be able to continue building homes and hope by utilizing COVID-19 safety precautions. These precautions have enabled our constructions site as well as our ReStore to remain going strong, and have allowed us to welcome back resident volunteers in a limited capacity. "We've had some wonderful folks come out over the...
