#hilo affordable housing

The 92-unit affordable living community in Hilo on the Big Island will be available to veterans, surviving spouses and other income-qualified seniors age 62 years or older.

A proposed affordable housing development in Hilo is one step closer to fruition after the Hawai‘i County Council on Wednesday approved the second and final reading of a bill that changes the use for the property where the project is planned.

For the second time in as many years, the Hilo landmark will require securing of the banks of the nearby Wailuku River.
