Catch excerpts from Hot Seat in Sunday's Focus section

Advertiser Staff

Dan Davidson, the new executive director of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, was on The Hot Seat today for a live blog chat.

HHFDC, a state agency, was created in 2006 to provide greater attention to financing and development of affordable housing.

Davidson is responsible for building relationships with affordable housing developers and financiers to expand the state's ability to construct and maintain affordable housing units (both for sale and rentals). He has a staff of 80 and manages $718 million in real and liquid assets.

Among the recent HHFDC projects:

  • Nohona at Kapolei, a partnership with Castle & Cooke (118 single-family units in Kapolei), went on sale last month.

  • Senior Residence at Kapolei (60-unit affordable senior housing) broke ground last month

  • Plantation Town Apartments (330-unit condominium project in Waipahu) broke ground last fall.
