Pālolo Homes
A complex of 63 two-story apartment buildings with a total of 306 units, Pālolo Homes is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood in Pālolo Valley in Honolulu, within easy reach of the shops and restaurants along Waiʻalae Avenue in the neighborhood of Kaimuki. Pālolo Homes is also close to the campuses of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Chaminade University, and Kapiʻolani Community College, all of which offer opportunities for continuing education, vocational training, and entertainment. Strong community leadership at Pālolo Homes insures a safe, supportive living environment in which individuals and families can thrive.
In 2002, Mutual Housing assumed ownership of the Pālolo Homes complex in Honolulu and completed a $17.5 million renovation of the property one year later. Residents continue to reap the benefits of this initiative in many ways. The Pālolo Homes apartment buildings are secure and well maintained, and an array of programs, services, and resources make it possible for residents to pursue their personal and career goals. In 2008, Pālolo Homes opened its $1.7 million Pālolo ʻOhana Learning Center (POLC), which serves as the hub for supportive service programs and includes a computer lab, health nurse station, demonstration kitchen, reading room, classrooms and meeting areas.

Non-Section 8 Wait List Closed
The wait list for Pālolo Homes non-Section 8 apartments is closed and we are not accepting applications at this time.
When non-Section 8 apartments are vacated and become available in the future, we will continue to call applicants off of the wait list. Every applicant will go through a screening process for income qualifications and background checks. Therefore, there is no guarantee that an applicant will get an apartment. It can sometimes require screening many applications before a qualified applicant is found. The qualified and approved applicant holding the lowest lottery number shall receive the first available unit for their family size. The next lowest lottery number that is qualified will then get the next available apartment.
