CPD Finding Ml 1-012 (ACT)— ORI Anuenue Hale Aloha Gardens Is Not Complying with
CDBG Eligible Use and National Objective
Corrective Actions 1-1 and 1-2.
1-3. The City and ORI Anuenue Hale Inc. (ORIAH) remains committed to the
detailed plan, submitted in the City’s October 31, 2011, response and is pleased that
HUD has accepted the City and ORl’s proposed utilization plan as well as the City’s
report on the amount of fees that ORI is charging for the use of the Aloha Gardens,
both the Weilness Center and Camp Pineapple 808 and the City’s determination that
the fees do not preclude low and moderate income persons from using the facilities.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Weliness Center has increased its
number of eligible elderly and adults with developmental disabilities to 23 users
during all normal hours of operations. This is a prorated calculation based on
class/program schedules and an average number of users throughout a week;
please see table below for more detail).

Although the increased usage does not meet the 30 eligible elderly and adults with
developmental disabilities benchmark as proposed in the October 31, 2011 letter,
they remain committed to achieve the target utilization. Unfortunately, Case
Management Inc. (CMI) has not finalized their collaboration plan with ORIAH, which
was anticipated to increase ORIAH’s utilization by 10 users during all normal hours of
operation. Currently, CMI’s executive director is actively seeking grant funding to
support its planned activities at the Weilness Center as well as ongoing operations.

In a continuing effort to achieve the target utilization
and generate public knowledge
and interest in the facilities, ORIAH has disseminated
at least 180 flyers, promoting
the Weilness Center and Camp to various groups, inclu
ding church groups and
senior groups in the community. ORIAH continue
s to offer tours to the Wellness
Center and the Camp to interested individuals and
groups. including seniors and the
severely disabled.
4-5. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, Cam
p Pineapple 808 has
increased its number of eligible elderly and adults
with developmental disabilities to
approximately 26 users per month, This is a prora
ted calculation based on the
number of eligible users who accessed Camp Pine
apple 808 in total during the
quarterly period, averaged over three months; pleas
e see table below for more detail.
L9 Users
L Oct-11 0

I Dec-11 78
Average per month 26
The increased usage does meet the 13 eligible elder
ly and adults with developmental
disabilities benchmark as proposed in the October 31,
2011 letter.
Further, using the HUD-approved program inco
me spreadsheet calculator, the City
has reviewed ORIAH’s financial records with respe
ct to the Wellness Center and
Camp Pineapple 808 and determined that no prog
ram income is due back to the
CDBG program as result of operations in the quarter
ended December 31, 2011.
Corrective Action 1-3. ORI has confirmed with the
City that they are not interested in
submitting a new proposal for the CDBG public servi
ce grant. As such, the City will be
formally terminating the contract and will be making
these funds available to alternate public
service projects.
Corrective Action 1-5. This discussion and supp
ort comprises the City’s second quarterly
on-site monitoring report of ORIAH for the period ende
d December 31, 2011. The City
remains committed to continuing the performance
of quarterly monitoring and submitting
monitoring reports for the remaining years of the CDB
G real property use period.
