The project would place 12 two-bedroom, one-bath homes on a site next to the library. DHS says the units would provide temporary housing while displaced residents pursue long-term options; after the disaster-recovery period, the homes are planned for interim workforce housing for educators and clinicians.
The meeting is at Nāʻālehu Public Library, 95-5669 Māmalahoa Highway. Community members may learn about the proposal, ask questions and offer input. People who cannot attend may send questions through the email contact in the official state notice.
Public comments will be accepted through October 20, but the release does not give a closing time. No exact-time deadline was added to the tracker. The notice also does not announce a housing application or define eligibility, so residents should treat this as a project-information and public-comment opportunity rather than an open application period.
