HCH to update residents at town hall meeting Published June 26, 2009 By Hickam Community Housing LLC HICKAM AIR FORCE BASE, Hawaii -- Dozens of new and renovated homes are completed each month at Hickam Community Housing (HCH) to meet the demand for quality homes and great communities by Hawaii's Air Force Families. One of the impacts of this is that, at times, families must be relocated out of older homes that must be demolished. To update residents who are scheduled to move in January 2010, HCH will hold a Town Hall meeting on July 8 at 6 p.m. at the HCH Community Center. Families scheduled to move received a letter from HCH notifying them of their move and the scheduled Town Hall. The meeting will specifically address families residing at the following addresses: · 202 3rd Street through 214 3rd Street · 201 4th Street through 213 4th Street · 201 5th Street · 302 Beard Avenue and 304 Beard Avenue · 402 Boquet Boulevard · 301 Signer Boulevard through 403 Signer Boulevard Families have already received a letter advising them of their move, which gives them six months instead of the policy standard of 120 days to prepare. "Even though residents will be moving within the HCH community, we know moving a family and household is never easy," said HCH Project Director David Falls. "Our property management team is doing a great job communicating with residents and staff is ready to assist." Families will be moving into existing homes in the Historic District, MILCON homes, or new homes in Onizuka Village. "The Air Force has worked closely with HCH and developer Actus Lend Lease to ensure our families receive a beautiful home," said Darryl Nii, Chief, Housing Privatization for the 15th Civil Engineer Squadron. Nii added both communities have significant meaning to the Air Force. "One community represents the Air Force's proud history and families will keep history alive with their own stories. Onizuka will be the first Air Force community where all homes will be LEED Silver Certified." LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, is a rigorous green building rating standard set by the U.S. Green Building Council. "Our Onizuka families will help make Air Force history," said Nii. The meeting agenda includes an update on construction activities, the relocation process, and move-out requirements. "We encourage families who are scheduled to move to attend. We'll provide them with good information and they can have all their questions answered," said Falls. Residents that would like more information or have questions prior to the meeting can call their Community Manager, Brian Schaeffer, at 423-2300.
