At Kalanianaʻole Development, our mission is rooted in the foundational principles of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act: Self-Determination, Economic Development, Cultural Preservation, and Homesteading. These pillars guide every step of our work as we honor the vision of Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, the founder of this transformative act.

We believe that housing is more than shelter—it’s a path to stability, prosperity, and connection to ʻāina (land). Our developments reflect the principles of aloha ʻāina (love of the land), kuleana (responsibility), and mālama (care), ensuring that every project strengthens the lāhui and upholds Hawaiian values and identity.

Our Mission in Action

Self-Determination: Empowering Native Hawaiians to shape their futures by providing access to housing and resources that uphold dignity, independence, and choice.

Economic Development: Creating pathways to financial independence and generational wealth through affordable housing and innovative development strategies.

Cultural Preservation: Safeguarding Native Hawaiian traditions and fostering vibrant communities where culture thrives.

Homesteading: Developing lands that strengthen Native Hawaiians’ connection to their ʻāina and support kuleana (responsibility) and aloha ʻāina (love for the land).
