So what is being done to make it more fair? According to The Star Advertiser, and plans submitted by SamKoo, the project is trying to get it approved so that there will be a certain number of units for each income bracket. This would mean that rather than competing against every single applicants, you would only be competing with people that are in the same Area Median Income (AMI) bracket. Also, the AMI limit has been increased to 140%. Based on the plans submitted to the City and County, here is the tentative breakdown for the affordable units:
If this isn't approved, it is possible that it could favor those who earn less. For example if 620 applicants applied and 310 were in the 80-100% AMI and the remaining 310 were in the 110-140% AMI, then the 310 who are in the 80-100% bracket would get units and the other 310 wouldn't since HHFDC decides on the order. We are hoping to hear good news on getting this changed so that it would allow everyone a fighting chance to get a unit at The Central Ala Moana. The project ideally wants to start within the next 2 months, but it depends on this approval. Stay tuned for updates and I will be sure to let you know whether this has been approved or not.
