MCC §2.96.010
Why this housing law exists
Read the official text at library.municode.com ↗This section explains why the County has this housing law. It says there is not enough affordable housing, which makes it hard for local workers to buy homes or find rentals. The goal is to create more housing for people who qualify based on income, including workers, students, and special groups.

The ordinance, as written (Maui County) — Purpose
A copy, taken August 21, 2026. The version published by Maui County is the one that governs, and it may have changed since. Check it before relying on anything here.
The purpose of this chapter is to enhance the public welfare by ensuring that the
housing needs of the County are addressed. The council finds that there is a critical
shortage of affordable housing, making home acquisition by the majority of County
resident workers extremely difficult, and creating a shortage of affordable rental
units. The resident workforce is leaving the County in search of affordable housing,
and new employees are being deterred by the high cost of living. To maintain a sufficient
resident workforce in all fields of employment, and to ensure the public safety and
general welfare of the residents of the County, resident workforce housing needs must
be addressed. It is the intent of this chapter to encourage the provision and maintenance
of residential workforce housing units, for both purchase and rental, to meet the
needs of income-qualified households for the workforce, students, and special housing
target groups.
