(Anahola, Kaua?i) – The Department of Hawaiian Homes Lands (DHHL) held an opening ceremony for its new Kaua?i District Office on Monday, November 28, 2022, in L?hu?e, Kaua?i.

DHHL’s new office in Room 201 of the State building at 3060 ?Eiwa Street expands the Department’s footprint with a seated reception area, conference room, and additional staff workspace.

“This office expansion has been in the works for years and we can’t say mahalo enough to the many hands that helped to make this happen.,” said Deputy to the Chair Tyler Iokepa Gomes. “The larger space will provide our community more privacy when handling sensitive family matters and we will have the physical space for more DHHL staff here on Kaua?i, which is critical toward not only serving the existing community but the anticipated future homesteaders on the island.”

DHHL recently completed a $12 million Captial Improvement Project to improve its Anahola Farm Lots Water System and has allocated a portion of its $600 million from Act 279 for homestead lot development projects in Anahola and Hanap?p?. The new lots would add to the existing community of over 700 homesteads on Kaua?i.
