Designed for households earning up to 80% of Oahu’s median income, it’s the first project funded by Hawaii’s 2022 state program targeting overlooked middle-income renters. Residents like 76-year-old Marie Lanz, formerly homeless, call it their “forever home.” Partnered with Homes Hawai’i and developed by GSF LLC, it joins Koa Vista I (for seniors) as part of a larger Koa Ridge community committed to affordable housing. Backed by a 61-year fixed-rate state loan, this project aims to keep hardworking locals rooted in their communities, not priced out.
