HALE ‘O LĀʻIE
Former Maui hotel provides short-term housing for
fire survivors, long-term housing for teachers, other workforce
residents of the Valley Isle
HONOLULU ̶ The Hawaiʻi Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) announced on March 28, 2024, that it closed on the purchase of the former Maui Sun Hotel in Kīhei from Haggai International Institute for Advanced Leadership Training.
The newly renamed Hale ʻO Lāʻie, with 175 guest rooms, will initially be operated as temporary housing for certain individuals and families displaced by last August’s wildfires. HHFDC has contracted with Paramount Hotels LLC, the owner and manager
of the nearby Maui Coast Hotel, to provide property management and related services for the project.In accordance with the legislative appropriation that funded the acquisition, Hale ʻO Lāʻie will be repurposed as a teacher and workforce rental housing project with public prekindergarten classroom space once the wildfire-related use has ended. The County of Maui, which will lease and take possession of the property next year, expects to begin the process of selecting a development partner later this year.
A phased opening of the property for Maui fire survivors is planned to begin in May 2024.
