Catholic Charities Hawaii has received the national Social Innovation award, from Catholic Charities USA, for one of its successful affordable housing programs.

The Hale Wai Vista Support Housing Services program, launched in collaboration with Prudential Locations, is a 215-unit affordable rental project.

“This is a great example of a nonprofit organisation and private sector company partnering to address a business and a social need,” said Catholic Charities Hawaii President and CEO Jerry Rauckhorst.

“The program advances our mission to provide services to the poor and most vulnerable in our community while assisting a private business (to) improve its financial viability.”
