The `Āina Haina Community Association (AHCA) was founded in 1966 by residents committed to ensuring the quality of life and preserving the values that have made `Āina Haina one of the most desirable places in which to live on the Island of O'ahu.  Today, our community numbers just under 25,000 residents with homes commanding some of the highest and most stable property values in Honolulu.  With your continued support, active participation and the strong community and family spirit for which `Āina Haina is known, we will work together to sustain these values for generations to come.  If you and your family have lived here as long as many, mahalo nui loa for your support. 

If you are new to this area, e komo mai and please be sure to join the AHCA to help preserve a beautiful, safe and thriving `Āina Haina.  Approximately forty percent of households in the community are members who elect an all-volunteer Board of Directors each year at the `Āina Haina Community Association General Meeting.  All Directors live in our community -- some for generations. 

During each program year spanning July 1 to June 30, the Board of Directors is tasked with ensuring that each tenet of the AHCA charter is upheld:

1.  to promote the general welfare of the `Āina Haina area and its residents
2.  to foster a positive community spirit and
3.  to take informed action when necessary on community problems

Older Hao Devolpment Reports and History:
October 2, 2012
Residences at Aina Haina LLC, owned by Jeff Stone, filed for permits to build two, two-story, single-family homes on the 9.5 acre parcel (TMK 36024001) located at 1031 Hao St.  Although this is a significant downsizing from the original 2007 permits attempted for an 11-home subdivision, AHCA and residents throughout the community still share grave concerns about building on such steep slopes; the potential impact to homes below the site; the impacts of prolonged and complex construction on neighbors; and environmental impacts to surrounding preservation land where it is believed that such rare species as the Elepaio are making a comeback from the brink of extinction.
