Ka La’i Ola, a interim housing site in Lahaina, houses up to 1,500 displaced Maui residents for up to 5 years.
HomeAid Hawaiʻi developed interim housing solutions for the displaced residents of Maui following the devastating August 2023 fires. This initiative involved collaborating with various agencies and stakeholders on activities like land planning, site development, design, and construction.
In partnership with the State, we also developed an interim housing site in Lahaina, called Ka La’i Ola (The Place of Peaceful Recovery). The site houses up to 1,500 displaced Maui residents for up to 5 years. Visit the Ka La’i Ola website to learn more.

Immediately after the fires, HomeAid Hawaiʻi pledged to support displaced residents, and the State of Hawaiʻi, by building at least 500 homes in Central and West Maui. Since then, we completed Ka Laʻi Ola: evaluating sites for feasibility; working through scenarios that consider complex issues like water, sewage, and traffic flow; and identifying the land and structures that will best help to heal a community that has suffered considerable trauma.
