New Hawaiian Homestead development on Kauai

Forty-nine homestead land leases were awarded today on Kauai. It's a new Hawaiian Homelands development in Kekaha.

Hawaiian families from as far away as the mainland were selected.

Several were chosen from Niihau, the Hawaiians-only island owned by the Robinson family.

"I'm very happy for today, and I'm excited, not only for me, but for my Niihau ohana, too," one recipient said. "My cousins, my uncles, my aunties, they're all from Niihau."

"They don't have homes, they rent places, most of them, and a lot of them are living with the Robinson family," said another.

More than half the lots have contractor-built homes costing as little as $112,000. The remaining sites are being built out under a self-help program with models around $95,000.
