Chris Dotson had a landscaping business with two dozen clients when the nonprofit run by his husband saw an explosion of growth.

HomeAid Hawaiʻi, which has been awarded the bulk of the no-bid state contracts to build tiny houses for the homeless under an emergency proclamation from the governor, went from having $235,338 in revenue in 2022 to nearly $142 million in 2024.

As HomeAid’s work on the kauhale initiative increased, so did Dotson’s work for the nonprofit run by his husband, Kimo Carvalho.

By the time Dotson and Carvalho filed for divorce earlier this year, HomeAid was Dotson's only client. In a court document, Carvalho said HomeAid was "a major income source" for Dotson — a fact that contradicts previous statements by the nonprofit developer about Dotson's role, which it said involved merely "volunteering his time and offering discount labor."

Dotson's lawyer, Jared Washkowitz, did not respond to requests for comment.

The leader of a nonprofit that was part of a critical audit of a state housing initiative is responding to questions.

It comes as some lawmakers demand answers to what they call questionable spending.

The auditor looked at the Statewide Office on Homelessness and Housing Solutions — and Gov. Josh Green’s Kauhale Initiative, tiny homes built under his emergency proclamations to ease the homeless crisis.

One part of the expansive audit: a $5,200 state reimbursement for a 2024 Vegas trip for a conference to the CEO of HomeAid, contracted to build kauhale.

It included a first-class airline upgrade, charges from the minibar and two $50 sexual intimacy kits — expenses which the auditor said are not allowed.

Amazing what people claim for reimbursement.  I cannot afford first-class, nor the crap in the mini-bar, and why the fuck should taxpayers fund his condoms and anal sex lube.  The only thing I condone about all of this is the FIRST-CLASS INSANITY.
