Coming Soon: A Culturally Grounded Guide to Empower Native Hawaiian Families
Kalaniana‘ole Development is proud to announce an upcoming manual that reflects the values and traditions of our community. This guide will provide essential insights into the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act (HHCA) and the Rent with an Option to Purchase (RPT) program. As a company led by a Native Hawaiian raised on homestead lands and a current waitlister, we bring a deep understanding of the unique needs and cultural values that strengthen our communities.

Guided by Hawaiian Values:
Our approach to RPT programs is guided by the principles of aloha ʻāina (love of the land), ʻohana (family), and kuleana (responsibility). We believe that housing is more than just shelter—it’s about fostering connections to ʻāina, building resilient communities, and creating a thriving future for generations to come.

What You’ll Find in the Manual:

  • The story of the HHCA and its mission to empower Native Hawaiians through land-based opportunities.

  • How RPT programs can promote affordable housing, financial education, and pathways to homeownership while honoring cultural values.

  • Practical tools and guidance to help families navigate their journey toward stability and self-sufficiency on Hawaiian Home Lands.

A Commitment to Community:
We recognize that each RPT program is unique, and their success depends on meaningful partnerships with the Native Hawaiian community. Guided by the principles of aloha ʻāina, ʻohana, and kuleana, Kalaniana‘ole Development is dedicated to fostering environments of respect, care, and aloha.
