Overview

Mission

To provide a full spectrum of services and support for affordable rental housing properties.

What it reported doing in 2025

Komohale services supports low-income residents with access to financial literacy and economic stability by hosting third-parties to offer on-site financial education classes and workshops as well as one-on-one counseling. Activities are conducted within the community rooms and common areas of the income-restricted properties. The ease of access eliminates any transportation burden.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 77% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
