CREATing affordable, climate resilient housing
For the last 8 years, the Paulele Housing Association (TPHA) has been developing innovative ways to make housing affordable and build sustainable communities prepared for wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and drought.
We're dedicated to restoring the Hawaiian way of living in harmony with Earth and designing homes that our people can afford.
Our Creative Collective of architects, designers and engineers have designed fire-proofing sprays to withstand temps of 1,200 degrees, wind-resistant designs for hurricane risk areas and water (H2O) generators for clean drinking water for everyday use and after disasters.
