Recognizing that some beneficiaries are not comfortable with, or able to, plan, design, and organize the construction of a home, the Department develops turnkey homes for their convenience. For more information regarding the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, please click on the link below.
Before a home is constructed, architectural drawings are prepared and approved by the County, a building permit is issued and the area on the land where the house will sit is prepared for the home.
Upon completion of the home, the home is inspected for quality control and compliance to the construction plans and the contractor issues a 1-year building warranty.
The completed home is then offered to native Hawaiians on the island wait list. You only need to obtain a mortgage loan, which DHHL will assist you with.
The Vacant Lot Award is an award to an applicant who would like to design and construct his or her own home on a parcel of land with infrastructure developed by DHHL.
