The Hawaii Public Housing Authority
helps provide Hawai`i residents with affordable housing and
shelter without discrimination. HPHA does not
discriminate in admission or access to, or treatment or
employment in its programs and activities. HPHA efforts
focus on developing affordable rental and supportive
housing, public housing and the efficient and fair delivery
of housing services to the people of Hawai`i.
At the Hawaii Public Housing Authority,
we have renewed our focus and commitment to providing the
best possible service to the public. We have even changed
the way we answer the phone to help us remind you and
ourselves that as public servants, we have the honor of
serving this great State of Hawaii every day. With this
simple telephone greeting, "Aloha. HPHA. How may I serve
you?" we pledge to do our very best and thank you for
allowing us to serve you.
The Hawaii Public Housing Authority
does not discriminate against any person on the basis of
disability/handicap, race, color, sexual orientation,
familial status, marital status, national or ethnic origin,
religion, age, or HIV infection.
Fraud Alert: Phony Grant Scams
Beware of fraudsters who say
you have been awarded a grant from the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), but they need
an upfront fee. HUD will never email or call to
“award” you money.
Beware of 'Government Imposter' Scams
HPHA alerted the Attorney General, Honolulu Police
Department and the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) so that the State's most
vulnerable population does not fall victim to this
type of scam. The HPHA never requires fees or credit
checks to apply for any of its programs. Potential
applicants for Section 8 or public housing should be
vigilant when asked to provide private information
and should contact the HPHA directly at (808)
832-6040 if they have any concerns about websites,
advertisements, postings, etc.
ATTENTION PHONE SCAMS AND FRAUD ALERT for applicants and
current Section 8 Voucher holders - Please be aware that
Housing Authorities do not charge fees for
participation in the Section 8 program. Housing
Authorities won't reach out to you by phone or email
to suggest that you join a waiting list or pay a fee
to be on a waiting list. A Housing Authority will
never ask you to wire money or pay with a prepaid
card. Those are sure signs of scams.
