About Us
We Embody the Aloha Spirit.
John and Liz Kiwaha live the Aloha spirit and are committed to helping their community and the people in it to be successful.
We believe that people are most successful when they have a great support system of others who care and provide encouragement to help them be all they desire to be. By providing clean, safe, affordable housing in nice neighborhoods, their focus can be on working toward reaching their goals and not on where they will sleep.
