RE: H.C.R. No. 214

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing and Human Services, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 214 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII TO EXPLORE HOME OWNERSHIP OPTIONS AND STUDY THE FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING A HOUSING DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AT HAUIKI HOMES AND OTHER STATE-OWNED AND OPERATED HOUSING PROJECTS,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request a study on homeownership options for public housing tenants and on the feasibility of implementing a housing demonstration project at state housing projects.

The Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) testified in support of this measure.

This measure requests HCDCH to study homeownership options for public housing tenants and the feasibility of implementing a housing demonstration project at state-owned and operated housing projects, including Hauiki Homes. Your Committees find that this measure is consistent with the agency's efforts to increase homeownership opportunities for lower income families and to improve the management of its assets.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing and Human Services that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 214, and recommend its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection and Housing and Human Services,
