The Hawaiian Acres Community Association
Building Our Community Center
In February 2023, our community center was destroyed by fire. While some time has passed, we still have $230,000 in insurance funds available for rebuilding.
Our plan is to construct a standalone community center in the recently cleared area. We are asking community members with skills in planning, construction, and public relations to please sign up to volunteer. We will also be needing help with landscaping and planting agricultural crops. Please let us know if you can help. Email: om@hawaiianacres.org. Mahalo!
A traditional blessing of the land led by Kahu Kimo Peleiholani-Blankenfeld was held on June 21 to honor the community’s connection with the land and recognize the importance of being good stewards for future generations.
A 1-acre area was cleared for the new community center.
Approved Site Plan
On April 8th the Hawaiian Acres Community Association received plan approval for the community center and farmers' market.
Come Hither Model
This structure can be built with SABS (Saebi Alternative Building System), which is an innovative construction method using Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam panels coated with a specialized, patented cement mix called SABSCRETE. It creates highly durable, energy-efficient, fireproof, and termite-proof homes that can withstand 260+ mph winds and 9.0 magnitude earthquakes. The permitting process for a SABS structure is minimal.
We are documenting the progress of a SABS home presently being built in Hawaiian Acres.
