Affordable Housing

603 of the units at Kuilei Place will be reserved for the HHFDC Affordable Housing program, which states that buyers must make under 120% of the AMI (Area Median Income) in order to qualifiy. Based off the current HUD report, these are the income thresholds:

These units will fall under the HHFDC guidelines which can be found here. But to give you the highlights, each unit must be owner-occupied and stay within the program for a total of 10 years. Meaning, if you sell the unit prior to the 10 year period, it must be sold to another Affordable qualified buyer and for likely under the market value at that time. After the 10 year period passes you will be allowed to sell the unit at market rate, however there is a component of shared appreciation. 

Shared Appreciation works similarly to a loan (although it is not techinally a loan). Say you can purchase the unit for under market value now, as a way to help you get into the housing market. If you pay $500,000 for a unit thats worth $600,000, the $100,000 difference is the "Shared Appreciation". When you go to sell the unit (presumably in 10 years), you must pay back most or all of the Shared Appreciation. The advantage is that repayment is only required if there is a profit, and less funds need to be invested upfront during the purchase.

Approximate sizing:
1 - Bedroom (538 sqft)
2 - Bedroom (744 sqft)
3 - Bedroom (943 sqft)
