More Manoa history
After World War II, an affordable rental housing project known as "Manoa Housing" was constructed in the area where Manoa Marketplace and Manoa Library are located now. The project was federally funded and its purpose was to provide low-cost homes for war veterans. Families first moved to Manoa Housing in late 1945.
The homes were in a safe neighborhood and the low rents allowed residents to save so that they could buy their own homes later. One thousand homes were built at the Manoa Housing site and they were occupied until 1958. In the 1960's the homes were torn down. Former residents of Manoa Housing periodically hold reunions to talk story about the good old days in Manoa.
