Department of Hawaiian Home Lands

Kawaihae Regional Plan Update (2023-2024)

 

Regional Plans are a part of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands’ tiered Planning system, and focus at the homestead community and regional level. Regional Plans are prepared through extensive beneficiary engagement and are approved by the Hawaiian Homes Commission. Across the islands, there are a total of 23 Regional Plans, and the last regional planning process for Kawaihae taking place in 2010. This update to the Kawaihae Regional Plan will include three (3) beneficiary consultations where a vision, community values, and priority projects will be identified. The Regional Planning process is meant to help build capacity and a sense of community, stimulate partnerships that aid the homestead community in reaching their goals, and give beneficiaries an opportunity to work together with DHHL in planning for their future.

The existing Kawaihae Regional Plan was approved in 2010 and is being updated to reflect the current needs, vision, values and priorities of the Kawaihae homestead community.
