State officials have found a new home for a planned $70 million veterans home on Oahu after a troubled search for a suitable site.
The Office of Veterans’ Services, part of the state Department of Defense, has arranged to lease land in Kapolei from another state entity for the 120-bed facility. The arrangement with the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation follows aborted attempts last year to use a University of Hawaii site near Diamond Head and a city-owned property in Aiea.
HHFDC’s board voted unanimously last month to lease about 7 acres of a larger vacant site makai of a Walmart store in Kapolei for the project, which faces losing $44 million in federal funding if a contractor can’t be picked by March.
