Apply for a PAL Home
To be eligible to receive a PAL home you must be income qualified. We serve households at ≤120% AMI, with some of our projects serving specific lower-income groups only. We give priority and preference to local, multigenerational households. Receiving a PAL home can be a 6 month - 1 year process. If you are facing or at risk of houselessness see our emergency resources.
For Sale Homes
Our projects are supported by the County of Kaua’i Housing Agency. All prospective buyers will be selected from the County of Kaua’i Homebuyers Program list. Once you are on that list you will be automatically notified about any available Fee Simple or Leasehold homes.
