About Aikū’ē Kalima

Aikū’ē Kalima, former Native Hawaiian Revolving Loan Fund Manager for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, joins Hawaiʻi Community Lending as its lending director.
Kalima comes to HCL with more than 25 years of experience in community development and mortgage lending. In his new position, Kalima will direct HCL’s consumer, construction, mortgage and small business lending.
“As a native Hawaiian and Hawaiian Home Lands beneficiary, I understand the financial needs for economic development and quality housing for kānaka is great,” said Kalima, who led OHA’s deployment of $9.8 million in loans to 286 native Hawaiians statewide over the last five years. “For over 25 years, I have worked tirelessly at the grassroots level, educating kānaka on the skills necessary to achieve the dream of homeownership and providing resources to achieve financial sustainability. I plan to continue serving the lāhui empowering ‘ohana and communities as the lending director for Hawai‘i Community Lending.”
Kalima takes the reins of HCL’s $16-million revolving loan fund and will oversee a team of seven staff members statewide. “HCL is honored to have Aikū’ē join us in our mission to help tackle our housing crisis by funding native Hawaiian and local families to build, buy and save homes from foreclosure,” said HCL Executive Director Jeff Gilbreath. “He has proven leadership in both the public and private sectors and has the passion to get families on the land through homeownership.”

About Kahaunani Mahoe-Thoene

Kahaunani, a proud Native Hawaiian, was born and raised in Kāneʻohe and Waimānalo, where she continues to make her home in Hawaiian Home Lands. She is one of 11 siblings and a fourth-generation lessee on Hawaiian Home Lands, tracing her family’s connection to their Waimānalo homestead land back to 1939 when her great-grandmother was relocated from the Mokauea fishing village.

A passionate supporter for Native Hawaiian rights, Kahaunani joined Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA) in 2013 at the invitation of founder Aunty Blossom Feiteira. Her journey began by attending Hawaiian Homes Commission contested case hearings to help prevent lease cancellations—a mission she sees as her calling from Ke Akua.

As the leader of HCL's servicing department, Kahaunani oversees a team of two managers and 12 staff members dedicated to administering programs like the organization’s loan fund, Homeowner Assistance Fund, and Home Preservation initiatives, including Lahaina Recovery efforts. Despite the demands of her role, Kahaunani says, “Working for HCL doesn’t feel like work. I feel fulfilled contributing to the goals of our lāhui.”

Deeply rooted in the values passed down by her kūpuna and inspired by her parents, Kahaunani is fueled by her commitment to economic advancement for Native Hawaiian communities. In her free time, she cherishes moments with her ‘ohana, especially her dad and mo’opuna.

“I follow the values of my Ke Akua and mākua, who led the fight for rehabilitation and preservation of our Native Hawaiian identity,” Kahaunani shares. “Aloha kēkahi i kēkahi—love one another. Lama kākou i ka hauʻoli o haʻi—we rise together by lifting those around us.”

About Aushalyn

Aushalyn Haia gets to call two islands her home: O‘ahu and Maui. Her dad is from Kailua, and her mom is from Mā‘ili. During her sophomore year, her papa’s name was called in the Leali‘i lottery. He had been on the list for 30+ years, already had a home, and was settled, so he gave it to her dad. Her family moved to Maui with two weeks of her sophomore year left, and at the time she was upset because, you know, teenager. But now she sees that move as the blessing it was. She grew up in two different beautiful environments, with more of her family and more friends.

At HCL, Aushalyn works with Lahaina homeowners who were directly impacted by the fires and who are interested in the Lahaina Homeowner Recovery Program. Their stories are already difficult, so talking about it isn’t easy. People want to be heard and understood. The goal is to help the community, whether that’s through HCL or not. So, throughout the process, the team tries to present options and resources for clients that can best help them and meet their needs.

Aushalyn is most proud of seeing people come in heavy and leave lighter. If she can bring a bit of peace to someone’s storm, it helps her breathe easier.

About Britney

From an early age, Britney Kalua knew she wanted to impact her Hawaiian community in a significant way.

She grew up with a lot of social and economic challenges. Through those challenges, she wanted to help and bring change to people with similar backgrounds in the Hawaiian community. As a teenager, it was her dream to become a counselor for “at-risk” or “houseless” Hawaiian youth. At the age of 17, she became pregnant with her first son, and for a big part of her life, trying to make it and survive became the focus.

She attended Hawai‘i Institute of Technology, where she earned her certificate in medical coding and billing. She gained experience and knowledge but discovered that the medical field was not her passion. Her work experience includes roles at Kealahou West O‘ahu, an emergency homeless shelter; as a freight processor with Matson Navigational Inc.; as an account specialist in Phoenix, Arizona; and as a community service specialist at Hawaiian Community Assets.

Her two children are now 15 and 7 years old. She loves the outdoors and spending time with her ‘ohana at the beach. She recently discovered a love for lauhala weaving and continues to further her knowledge by attending workshops and classes.

About Riley

Riley Bond has lived in Lahaina since the age of two and has become even more passionate about serving the community since the fires. Actively engaged in the legislative session last year, Riley read and submitted testimony on issues that directly impact the area. Currently, Riley sits on the board of a nonprofit focused on reforesting Lahaina by removing invasive plants, planting native trees, and using aloha ‘āina concepts to help people reconnect with the land and heal. In just one year, the nonprofit evolved from a completely grassroots effort with no funding or land lease to a fully established organization receiving grants and engaging in talks with DLNR and the state for an official land use agreement.

Riley has primarily worked in the tourism and service industry, with the exception of a role at an elementary school teaching English to children who needed extra assistance. This experience inspired a return to college to study early childhood education, later shifting focus to social work.

At HCL, Riley is part of a team with a shared vision of empowering the community and ensuring that individuals and families can return home.

For Matthew, Hawai‘i Community Lending is a place people can call home—a place where they will find the help they need.
