👉 The Hawaiian Project, formally known as the Hawaiian Home Lands Authority's (HHL) Land Acquisition and Development Program, is a U.S. federal initiative aimed at addressing land tenure issues on the Hawaiian Islands. It focuses on acquiring and developing land to provide affordable housing, economic opportunities, and community services for Native Hawaiians. The project involves purchasing underutilized or surplus land from the state and private entities, then leasing it to Native Hawaiian families and community organizations. These lands are managed to support cultural preservation, economic development, and self-sufficiency. By doing so, the Hawaiian Project seeks to rectify historical land losses and empower Native Hawaiians through sustainable development and community-driven initiatives.
