Building Stability in Housing: Oahu - Youth Initiative
 
 
 
The 3-year Building Stability in Housing Project is a project of Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA). The project's goal is to establish a statewide continuum of service in the realm of housing education and counseling that will increase the placement of impoverished individuals and families in affordable permanent housing through the delivery of culturally-appropriate financial education services and micro-loan products. Mission: Hawaiian Community Assets is a 501(c)3 nonprofit, HUD-approved housing counseling agency and community lending institution that builds the capacity of low- and moderate-income communities to achieve and sustain economic self-sufficiency with a particular focus on Native Hawaiians. Philosophy: HCA implements a unique, holistic approach to helping families achieve and sustain permanent housing. Named Kahua Waiwai, meaning "Foundation for Wealth," HCA's comprehensive program includes housing and financial education workshops, individualized counseling, and access to asset building services and financial products - all in the context of Native Hawaiian culture. Kahua Waiwai espouses the basic philosophy of "A Sense of Place." The home is viewed as a foundation (Kahua). Upon this foundation is built the family's spiritual values and teachings (Waiwai). It is the spiritual value of the home and its surroundings that provides stability and the opportunity for families to build a secure future. Opportunities that help stabilize family life help to create a more stable community. A strong foundation, if built properly, will serve generations to come.
