Like Orchids, pretty much all Hoyas will grow well and bloom under artificial light.
The most economical way to go about this is to use cheap four-foot florescent bulbs (one warm and one cool).
Your friend might also look into mylar as an additional reflective source (check out Hoya24's photos of his use of mylar and artificial lights http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/773859/).
I am attaching a blurb about artificial lighting as a jpeg.
