The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) is a state agency in Hawaii responsible for managing lands set aside for Native Hawaiians. Established in 1921, its primary mission is to provide homesteading opportunities and support for Native Hawaiian families, helping them secure affordable housing and land for agriculture. DHHL administers various programs, including residential and agricultural leases, to promote self-sufficiency and community development. The agency also works to preserve and enhance the cultural heritage of the Hawaiian people, ensuring that the benefits of these lands are accessible to those of Native Hawaiian ancestry.
