The County of Maui has approved with conditions building permits for Kahoma Village to reconstruct four multi-family buildings totaling 24units that were destroyed in the August 2023 wildfires.

According to Gov. Josh Green’s 18th emergency proclamation, multi-family residences within the Special Management Area may be reconstructed provided the reconstruction does not change the structure's previous footprint or overall dimensions.

Kahoma Village is required to obtain a permanent Special Management Area permit within six months of the expiration of the governor’s proclamation to ensure land use compliance after the proclamation ends.

Kahoma Village was originally developed as a 203-unit housing project under Hawaii Revised Statutes201H, which provides for expedited processing of projects that are more than 50 percent affordable.
