The application process for the new “old folks home” in Waikiki has been mummified. Upon closer scrutiny of the financial certification for the “old folks home” in Lower Makiki, incorrect data was noted. Actually, the bad data was identified at the start of the rental lease. There may be mention of the matter in an earlier post.
Listed assets were correct, but income figures had been fabricated in order to meet the minimum requirement. In other words, income was deliberately overstated by $24,000 in order to meet the minimum monthly income requirement of three times the monthly rent. The entire leasing process was handled by the housing specialist at the Sand Island homeless shelter.
The real problem will become manifest when the annual recertification is done. The housing specialist had to “pull strings” for the initial certification. Without that kind of “assistance,” the likelihood of eviction at the end of December is very real.
