Aloha Iā Halewilikō is a new affordable housing community for kūpuna in ‘Aiea. Formerly Halewilikō Highlands, this property is the culmination of community-driven planning, transforming the former Aiea Sugar Mill site.
Located at 99-385 Pōhai Place in ‘Aiea, Aloha Iā Halewilikō consists of 140 apartment homes, complemented by onsite amenities and tailored services. A central multi-purpose room serves as a vibrant hub of community life, where activities are overseen by an EAH Housing Resource Service Coordinator.
In collaboration with Lanakila Pacific, a nonprofit services provider, we’re excited to offer a variety of kūpuna services, from promoting healthy living to providing digital literacy support, and meal distribution.
Aloha Iā Halewilikō’s completion is expected in 2025. You can sign up to the interest list at EAHHousing.org/aiea to receive information once the formal lease-up process begins.
Mahalo to EAH Housing for this information!
