Housing team sets May 22 deadline for two project-lease offers, schedules June 20 selection meeting

The housing team said the response form for two project-lease opportunities is due May 22 and that applicants who submit by that date will be invited to a June 20 project selection meeting.

The presenter described the project lease as a "paper lease that grants you an undivided interest in an area subdivision" intended for future development and noted it includes a transfer provision allowing transfer "to a qualified 25% successor." The presenter also said, "there are no financial requirements for this particular project, so don't worry about it." (Presenter)

Officials gave applicants an extra week to prepare application materials, saying the deadline was moved from May 15 to May 22 to allow more time for submissions. The presenter repeatedly announced the new due date, stating, "May 22" as the firm cutoff: forms received on May 23 will be considered late and will not be eligible for invitation to the project selection meeting.

Those who are not ready to participate may check "not interested" on the response form to defer consideration. The presenter said deferral will leave applicants on the Maui Island‑wide applicant list in the order of their original application date and may preserve eligibility for future offers, including agricultural opportunities.

Contact information for the housing team and a PowerPoint and video of the session will be posted on the agency website for applicants to review. The presenter closed by thanking partner organizations and turning the presentation back to the next speaker.

Next steps: applicants planning to participate should submit the response form by May 22 to be invited to the June 20 project selection meeting; questions should be directed to the housing team using the contact details on the posted materials.
