AmeriCorps service members are an amazing group of people. They dedicate 10 1/2 months of their lives addressing critical community needs through volunteerism. 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. They spend their days working side-by-side with local families as they build their...
It was a day to celebrate, as new homebuyers received the keys to the homes they built alongside their neighbors, volunteers and Kaua`i Habitat for Humanity staff. The three homes are just the latest additions to this phase of construction at the `Ele`ele Iluna subdivision, which will house a total of 125 Habitat homes once all construction is completed in...
Another group of future homeowners are anxious to see the walls go up on their new homes in 'Ele'ele, but before the walls can be raised they have to be built. Luckily, our baseyard provided the perfect cover from the rain for our homebuyers and volunteers to keep the progress going in our 'Ele'ele Iluna neighborhood. So along with the...

Brittney and Justin have been doing everything right and by the book.

Five more families in 'Ele'ele and three in Anahola moved into their new homes with little fanfare while the rest of the world was focusing on the coronavirus outbreak. It was at a time when little could be done in the way of celebration, but we couldn't let such a life changing event pass without some form of acknowledgment and...
Our current homebuyers are just a portion of the fortunate recipients of the "Community Wins! Program" by Grove Farm. In an effort to help residents in need as well as suffering local businesses, Grove Farm came up with the program as a way to support local families and local businesses at the same time. It's a win, win for our...
Another beautiful week brings progress in the construction of affordable housing for the hardworking families on Kaua'i! Just this week we saw the walls go up on the future home of the Evans 'ohana, all while work was being done on three other lots in the subdivision. Construction Site Supervisor Robert Knowles worked alongside homebuyers, AmeriCorps service members and core volunteers...
For William and Blossom, becoming homeowners had been a dream and a work in progress for years. They had been renters their entire lives and desperately wanted the safety and security that owning a home can provide. Living in the highest housing market in the nation, finding opportunities to purchase a home the couple could afford seemed impossible, but they...
You have often heard us saying there are many ways to build homes and hope with Kaua'i Habitat without doing construction. It's true. Just look at Sandy Ambrose. Sandy has been volunteering with us for years, but you won't find her with a hammer in hand at the job site. Where you will find her is in the studio with...
