The city Monday held a blessing for a 30-unit affordable rental project at what had been a dormitory in McCully for international students.
Each of the units at 1936 Citron St. is equipped with a small refrigerator and sink. But occupants on each floor must share a bathroom and convenience centers equipped with microwave ovens and sinks, and community rooms with full kitchens and laundry facilities.
Located a half-block away from Lunalilo Elementary School and next door to McCully District Park, the units are targeted for single parents with young children at 50% of median income or less and who are either homeless or are at risk of homelessness. Units are expected to run $700-$750 a month.
