RE: H.C.R. No. 52

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Second State Legislature

Regular Session of 2004

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 52 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING COUNTY AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS IN UNILATERAL AGREEMENTS TO BE MET BY IN-LIEU CASH CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARD AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS DEVELOPED BY THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII OR THE DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to request that each county amend their affordable housing rules to include an option for in-lieu cash contributions, under certain conditions, to the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH) or the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL).

HCDCH and DHHL supported the intent of this measure. The City and County of Honolulu Department of Community Services and County of Hawaii Office of Housing and Community Development opposed this measure.

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.C.R. No. 52 and recommends that it be referred to the Committee on Finance.

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