Community Engagement
Welina mai!
Here, you’ll find all the latest information on our upcoming community engagement initiatives including workshops, information sessions, and outreach events.
Our goal is to empower and support our communities through education, resources and open discussion forums where we listen and learn from the communities we serve. Whether you’re interested in learning more about Hawaiʻi Community Lending, exploring our programs and loan options, or understanding the steps needed to build on Hawaiian Home Lands, we have something for everyone.
Hoʻokele Home Program
Mahalo nui for all who participated in the Ho‘okele Home Program at Hawaiʻi Community Lending (HCL). We are so happy to be working with you on your journey to homeownership in Hawaiian Home Lands.
At this point, the public information sessions are complete, and we will continue working one-on-one with those who are going through the active building and buying process. To help with this transition, our team is creating educational video content on relevant topics and preparing to assist you at every step of this exciting journey.
