West Maui Workforce Housing Survey

West Maui Workforce Housing Survey
This community survey is presented by the Maui Economic Development Board

• Do you live or work in West Maui?
• Do you dream of owning your own home?
• Looking to shorten your commute and spend more time with family and friends?

The West Maui Workforce Housing Survey is a grassroots, community-driven survey designed to determine the need for housing in West Maui from “the bottom up” as opposed to “top down”. We are seeking the input of parents, neighbors, small business owners, visitor industry staff, and more to help us inform decision makers of what the resident workforce truly needs.
