Mission
Provide education, consulting, funding and other necessary support to reduce cost of living and increase affordability in Hawaii. Affordable Hawaii Foundation (AHF) works to advance its mission to make Hawaii affordable. Includes activities to securing relief for the poor and distressed by assisting in ways to increase low income housing and addressing the needs of Hawaii's workforce by supporting the development of workforce housing and economic initiatives intended to decrease the disparity between the cost of housing and the incomes of individuals and families.
AHF's economic development goal is to encourage and foster employment and business opportunities in lower-income communities in Hawaii, thereby improving the residents' quality of life. AHF accomplishes this goal by supporting organizations who provide education and job training, childcare and similar programs for the children of lower income residents to allow parents time to work or further their education and job training, support entrepreneurship and small businesses in lower-income communities where they can provide quality job opportunities for residents and easier access to goods and services closer to their homes, and encourage larger businesses to expend more resources toward affordable housing and transportation options for their workforce employees.
AHF's functions as education and funding organization that enhances opportunities for affordable housing and economic grants, loans or other funding from governmental agencies, lenders, public and private companies and charitable organizations, and partners with others to promote, preserve and provide opportunities to maintain or reduce cost of living in Hawaii, including affordable housing and economic opportunities to residents in need.
