How Act 296 unlocked new funding options for O'ahu condo associations 🚦

Getting vital repairs financed just shifted, here’s what O'ahu associations need to know about the new HGIA program and how it’s changing the game for aging buildings.

– HGIA now offers direct loans to condo associations for critical upgrades like roofing, plumbing, and fire protection 🏢

– The state steps in when private lenders say no, giving qualified buildings a chance to tackle repairs that boost safety and insurability

– Only projects that show clear risk reduction and insurance improvement get priority, making it easier for older buildings to secure full coverage

– To qualify, associations need proof they’ve tried and been denied by at least one traditional lender

– Funding is limited and favors shovel-ready projects, so having plans in place helps get approvals moving faster ⏳

– Completing financed work ties directly to restoring full property and hurricane insurance, strengthening protection for owners and communities

– Program outreach is active, associations are being encouraged to take advantage now, before application windows close

Is your association thinking about major building upgrades or worried about insurance? Save this list for your board or property manager.

Celebrate National Homeownership Month by unlocking one of O’ahu's most impactful resources for first-time buyers: the HOPE program. 🏡✨

At our brokerage, we believe an informed buyer is a successful one. If you’ve been looking for a way to navigate O'ahu’s unique market, Hawaii’s Homeownership Opportunity for Everyone (HOPE) initiative is designed to turn the dream of local homeownership into a reality. This June, we are highlighting how this program helps bridge the gap for residents ready to transition from renting to owning.

Here is why the HOPE program is a game-changer for you:

📍 Targeted Support: The program focuses on empowering first-time buyers through a combination of financial literacy resources, down payment assistance, and access to affordable housing inventory specifically reserved for local families.

📉 Financial Pathways: By connecting buyers with participating lenders and state-sponsored incentives, the HOPE program helps lower the barriers to entry, making monthly mortgage payments more manageable in our high-cost landscape.

🏗️ Long-term Stability: Beyond the initial purchase, the program is part of a broader effort to increase Hawaii’s housing supply and ensure that homeownership remains sustainable for generations to come.

✅ Expert Guidance: Navigating program requirements and eligibility can be complex, but you don't have to do it alone. Our team is here to help you understand the latest updates and how to qualify for these specific local benefits.

Are you ready to see if you qualify for the HOPE program? Don’t let the market landscape intimidate you, let’s find out how these initiatives can be applied to your specific real estate goals. Send us a DM to start the conversation and take your first step toward owning a home on O'ahu! 💬

New FEMA maps are about to change how O'ahu properties are classified for flood risk, do you know if your property will be newly mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area? 🏝️

Starting June 10th, some properties across O'ahu will see their flood zone designation shift, affecting everything from insurance requirements to development approvals. Understanding your property's updated status is key to avoiding last-minute surprises with your lender or tenant obligations.

– Check the City and County of Honolulu’s online map viewers to compare your property’s current and future flood zone status.

– Properties newly mapped into Special Flood Hazard Areas may trigger lender-required flood insurance for those with federally backed mortgages.

– Use tools like the Get Flood Ready portal and FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center for step-by-step guidance on identifying updated flood designations.

– Regulations tied to these new flood zones may impact renovation, leasing, or sale timelines, making early awareness a smart move.

– Attending local outreach events or consulting with professionals can help clarify how these changes affect your next steps.

– Owners and buyers are encouraged to review updated maps now to anticipate any changes in insurance obligations or compliance requirements. ⚠️

📍 Key resources:
• resilientoahu.org/getfloodready
• msc.fema.gov
• dlnreng.hawaii.gov/nfip/

Save this checklist for your next property review, or share with someone who owns, manages, or is looking to buy in on O'ahu. 🌊 Have questions about how the new flood zones could impact a property you own or would like to own? Reach out anytime.

The Hawai‘i REALTORS® Charitable Foundation is helping Oʻahu residents recover from flood damage:

If your primary home was impacted by the March storms, this targeted program connects Oʻahu homeowners and renters with support designed to ease housing pressures during recovery.

– The foundation, partnering with the REALTORS® Relief Foundation, delivers one-time grants to help offset urgent mortgage, rent, or temporary lodging costs. 🏠

– Eligibility is focused on storm-related damage or displacement from your primary residence, support is not for secondary homes or investment properties.

– Oʻahu renters qualify if they were forced out and faced new leases or hotel bills because of flooding, not just temporary inconveniences.

– The grants are meant to work with state, federal, and nonprofit housing relief, supplementing but not replacing broader disaster aid.

– Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis within a set window, so acting early gives you the best chance at support. 📅

– You’ll need documentation like a lease, mortgage statement, or lodging receipts that clearly connect your claim to the March event.

Has your household been affected, or do you know someone navigating recovery? Save or share this as a go-to guide for accessing critical housing relief during Oʻahu’s rebuilding phase.

🚨 OʻAHU FLOOD MAPS ARE CHANGING — HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW 🚨

Starting June 10, 2026, FEMA’s updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps will take effect across the City & County of Honolulu — and many Oʻahu properties will be impacted.

Nearly 100 miles of streams have been remapped, and about 3,492 parcels are being newly placed into a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

Here’s why this matters:

🏠 If a property enters a flood zone and has a federally backed loan (FHA, VA, USDA, or most conventional loans), flood insurance will now be required.

⏳ Timing is critical — FEMA flood policies typically take 30 days to become active, and waiting until after the June 10 change could delay coverage or create financing issues during escrow.

⚠️ If coverage isn’t secured, lenders may force-place flood insurance — which is often significantly more expensive than a standard NFIP policy.

💡 The good news:
FEMA offers a “Newly Mapped” discount that can reduce premiums in the first year — but only if policies are placed early.

📍 How to check your property:
• Resilient Oʻahu Flood Map: www.resilientoahu.org/getfloodready
• FEMA Flood Map Service Center: msc.fema.gov

💬 Bottom line:
This update isn’t just about maps — it’s about timing, insurance eligibility, and protecting your transaction from avoidable delays.

If you’re buying, selling, or managing property on Oʻahu, now is the time to verify flood zones and secure coverage.
