“There are not enough sites for families and as we do our enforcement actions, we do not want to enforce in areas where families are that don’t have a place to go,” Caldwell told KITV4. “This is about housing the folks in Waianae in Waianae in a very nice, modular type setting.”
Where residents in the modular container homes for the homeless at Sand Island share bathroom and kitchen facilities, the 15-20 modular homes for the families will each have their own kitchens and bath facilities. A community space and garden may also be included. Latest figures indicate there are 22 unsheltered family households along the Waianae.
The proposed 1.1-acre site for the modular units will cost $300,000, while the homes themselves are pegged at $2 million. The city will soon present plans to the Nanakuli and Waianae neighborhood boards. ##
