As recognized in the 2006 Kilauea Town Plan, North Shore residents of Kauaʻi are in serious need of affordable housing options. The proposed Kilauea Town Expansion is being master planned to blend seamlessly with historic Kilauea Town into a vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable community. With a focus on affordability, diversity, and community integration, Kilauea Town Expansion aims to address the pressing housing crisis while also fostering economic growth through infrastructure improvements and the inclusion of commercial and industrial areas for the local residential workforce.

The master plan process includes the culmination of knowledge, ideas, and input from the community, agencies, and resource partners to develop a final conceptual design, alternatives, and preferred uses that are vetted by the residents, particularly of North Kauaʻi and Kilauea Town. The County Housing Agency is kicking off the community engagement and would love to hear your thoughts and ideas!

Namahana School

Although Namahana Public Charter School is not part of the County’s Kilauea Town Expansion Project, the 11-acre campus immediately across the street from the town expansion area creates a cohesive vision for Kilauea’s future. Careful planning will be paramount in the development of our community master plan.
