RE: H.C.R. No. 202
H.D. 1
S.D. 1
Honorable Robert Bunda
President of the Senate
Twenty-Third State Legislature
Regular Session of 2006
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 202, H.D. 1, entitled:
"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING ADMINISTRATION, IN CONSULTATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DEPARTMENT OF HAWAIIAN HOME LANDS, OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS, UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES IN HAWAII, AND THE COUNTIES TO STUDY THE USE OF TRAILER PARKS AS A POSSIBLE OPTION FOR SOLVING HAWAII'S HOMELESS AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING CRISIS,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to request a study of the use of trailer parks as a possible option for solving Hawaii's homeless and affordable housing crisis.
Testimony in support of the intent of the measure was submitted by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii and the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands offered comments.
Your Committees find that this measure calls for a comprehensive study on the issue of whether manufactured housing would be a productive and feasible means to help alleviate the crisis that Hawaii now faces. The answers determined in the study would enable the Legislature to embrace or reject the concept based upon the facts.
Your Committees have amended the measure to:
(1) Substitute reference to "mobile home parks" for references to "trailer parks";
(2) Add the Land Use Commission, the Office of Planning, the Office of Environmental Quality Control, and the Affordable Housing and Homeless Alliance to the agencies and stakeholders named for consultation during the requested study;
(3) Provide unit cost estimates for the delivered price of a mobile home on a pad; and
(4) Correct references to the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs that are attached to this report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 202, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form attached hereto as H.C.R. No. 202, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Housing and Intergovernmental Affairs,
