There is approximately $2.75 billion available in this years SuperNOFA (Notice of Funding Availability). The SuperNOFA is HUDs way of streamlining the process for announcing a wide variety of competitive grant programs at one time. Included in the SuperNOFA are 45 grants which include programs for Housing and Community Development, Economic Development and Empowerment, Targeted Housing, Homeless and Section 8 Voucher Assistance. Please be aware that each grant has its own application process and its own deadline. Under each program covered by the SuperNOFA, you can download the application kit from our web site and click on "HUD issues SuperNOFA", or request that a hard copy of the kit be sent to you by calling (800) 483-8929.
HUD will conduct a live satellite broadcast for each grant to help potential applicants in submitting an application. See the chart below for the schedule of satellite broadcasts reflecting Hawaiis time zone. If you have a movable satellite dish, you can tune in broadcasts from your home or office.
If you wish to view any of the live satellite broadcasts in the HUD Hawaii State Office, please call us at 522-8175 x 0 to express your interest and to reserve a space at least 2 days prior to a scheduled broadcast. This will ensure that we can accommodate you.
As an option to the satellite broadcasts, you can also view live webcasts or webcasts from our video library in streaming video over the Internet. Streaming web video requires a special video player which can be downloaded. After you have installed the player, select a HUD webcast. You can link to the webcast of the training programs associated with each NOFA.

The HUD Officer Next Door and Teacher Next Door programs are now available in Hawaii. The Officer Next Door and Teacher Next Door programs promote homeownership to law enforcement officers and school teachers by offering HUD Homes located in a revitalization area for sale at a 50% discount. To make properties even more affordable, HUD will reduce the down payment to just $100 if the home is purchased with an FHA-insured mortgage.
Currently there are HUD designated revitalization areas on Oahu only, however, we are working to get revitalization areas designated on the neighbor islands as well. Revitalization areas are typically in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, have many vacant properties and often have high crime rates, but are considered good candidates for economic development and improvement. Homes offered for sale in the program were previously insured through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and then foreclosed.
Officers and Teachers must live in the property as their sole residence for at least three years after purchase. A law enforcement officer who is employed full-time by a federal, state, county or municipal government and is sworn to uphold and make arrests for violations of federal, state, county or municipal laws is eligible to participate in the Officer Next Door program. This includes campus police officers employed by State or local colleges and universities and private colleges and universities. Any teacher who is employed full-time by a public school, private school or federal, state, county or municipal educational agency and is a state-certified classroom teacher or administrator in grades K-12 is eligible to apply for HUDs Teacher Next Door Program. For teachers, homes must be located in the school district in which the teacher is employed.
All of the HUD Homes in Hawaii are managed and marketed by a local
contractor, PEMCO, Ltd. For more details on the programs and to
find out which homes are available under the Officer Next Door and
Teacher Next Door programs, visit PEMCOs web
site (http://www.hudpemco.com) and click on Officer/Teacher Next Door Program.

On Friday, February 23, 2001, the staff in our Honolulu Multifamily Program Center had the opportunity to tour of some of the HUD multifamily housing projects. This brief one day tour, provided members of our staff the opportunity to see how HUD is assisting in improving the quality of life for those in our community. They had the chance to see how the recent renovation at Maunakea Tower Apartments has improved the housing quality for its residents. They toured the innovative Neighborhood Network Center at Beretania North-Kukui Tower. This showed how converting one apartment to a computer learning center has given the residents of this complex new opportunities for self improvement. They observed the results of the green thumbs of the residents of Hale O Hauoli Elderly in a walking tour of the projects garden plots. The residents displayed the fruits of their labor, along with the vegetables, the herbs, the flowers and the ornamental plants. They had the chance to look at Manana Gardens, Nova Sunset Villas, Waipahu Tower and Kilohana Apartments to see how the owners were able to improve the physical qualities of these projects. This, in turn, gives the residents pride in their housing complex and adds to the revitalization of the community. In the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Hale Kuha`o, they experienced the newest assistive technology that offers individuals with severe spinal cord injuries a chance at independent living. And finally, at the Senior Residence at Kaneohe, they saw how the State of Hawaii, the City and County of Honolulu and HUD were able to come together to creatively finance a beautiful new housing project for the elderly.
This field trip provided our staff the opportunity to witness the fact that the work we do really does make a difference in our community.
The Hawaii State Office will expand its community outreach on homeownership
in the month of June, 2001. Be on the look out for homebuyer fairs
in Waianae, Ewa, Kalihi, Waimanalo, and the North Shore on a Saturday
morning in June. HUD and its partners in the housing industry are
busily planning five community homebuyer fairs to help people prepare
for homeownership. We want to reach out to those who are ready to
buy a home now or those who may just have a dream about buying a
home some day. We want to make people aware of the various programs
and organizations available to help them through the home buying
process. Thanks to our housing partners -- Catholic Charities, Waimanalo
Community Development Corporation, Nanakuli Neighborhood Housing
Services, USDA - Rural Development, Mortgage Bankers Association,
State and City Fair Housing offices, Hawaii Civil Rights Commission,
Dept. of Hawaiian Home Lands, Habitat for Humanity we look
forward to helping many people through the home buying journey.
More details will become available soon.
We are grateful that the Waianae Coast Coalition (WCC) has agreed
to partner with HUD as a community resource center for the Waianae
coast community. HUD will work with WCC to ensure that the people
in the community have ready access to information regarding HUD
programs, initiatives and services. The information would include
pamphlets and brochures on homeownership, videotapes of HUD satellite
broadcasts that explain HUD programs and initiatives, information
on how to submit projects and initiatives for recognition as HUD
Best Practices, and many more. We also will make our staff available
to visit the community resource center periodically to allow for
people in the community to meet with HUD staff in person without
having to drive to town. Our office expects to form other community
resource partnerships in other communities throughout the State.
The WCC is located at the Satellite City Hall in Waianae at 85-670
Farrington Highway, Suite #1. The telephone number for WCC is 696-1217.
If your organization would like to host a community resource center,
please call Mike Flores (michael_s._flores@hud.gov) at 522-8175 ext. 246.
