Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2000
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was
referred H.R. No. 165 entitled: 

     "HOUSE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY
     DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII TO EXPLORE HOME OWNERSHIP
     OPTIONS AT THE STATE-OWNED AND OPERATED PALOLO HOMES I AND
     II,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this resolution is to request the Housing and
Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (Corporation) to
explore home ownership options at the state-owned and operated
Palolo Homes I and II.

     The Corporation, Affordable Housing and Homeless Alliance,
and four individuals testified in support of this resolution.

     Your Committee finds that this measure is the first step
towards making home ownership a reality for low- and moderate-
income families.

     Your Committee has amended this resolution by:

     (1)  Expanding its coverage to include other state-owned and
          operated housing projects; and


 
 
 
 
 
                                 STAND. COM. REP. NO. 1103-00
                                 Page 2

 
     (2)  Changing its title to read:  "REQUESTING THE HOUSING
          AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII TO
          EXPLORE HOME OWNERSHIP OPTIONS AT THE STATE-OWNED AND
          OPERATED PALOLO HOMES I AND II AND OTHER STATE-OWNED
          AND OPERATED HOUSING PROJECTS."
 
     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Human Services and Housing that is attached to this
report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of
H.R. No. 165, as amended herein, and recommends that it be
referred to the Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto
as H.R. No. 165, H.D. 1.

                                   Respectfully submitted on
                                   behalf of the members of the
                                   Committee on Human Services
                                   and Housing,



                                   ______________________________
