To increase affordable housing on Hawaii Island, CU Hawaii Federal Credit Union (CU Hawaii) donated $20,000 to the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HICDC) leveraging a matching grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. CU Hawaii’s donation and matching grant to HICDC will support the development of additional self-help housing units.
HICDC’s mission is to facilitate the development of housing for low- and moderate-income households on Hawaiʻi Island through direct development and self-help development coordination.
In a press release HICDC Executive Director Keith Kato said, “These matching gifts will help our organization create more housing for those in our community who many times need the most help to become homeowners.”
