The Courtyards at Waipouli Apartments are home to 31 families that will be forced to move in August due to an expiring contract with the county for the affordable housing units. The county has a built-in option to buy the complex, but declined at the owner’s asking price of $37 million in December.

WAIPOULI — Larisa Jensen is a 26-year-old single mother of two, one of 31 families living in affordable housing at the Courtyards at Waipouli Apartments.
