PLANNED / POTENTIAL USE:	Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii is applying for $35 million in HUD HOPE VI funds for the revitalization of Kuhio Park Terrace, a public housing community. Objectives of the project include developing a safe, clean, and secure neighborhood, promoting economic and housing diversity, and providing economic, educational, and social programs and opportunities for residents and the surrounding community. The revitalization will replace the 614-unit project with a mixture of low and mid-rise apartments and single family dwellings for homeownership and rent. The project centerpiece will be a 50,000-square foot Community Resource Center that will provide residents with services such as childcare, teen programs, job training, welfare-to-work programs, and family education. The center is scheduled for completion by August 2002. Proposed Revitalization Master Plan (Overall View) Proposed Revitalization Master Plan (Linapuni St. View) Proposed Community Resource Center
