Sir:
Your Committee on Human Services & Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1536 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC HOUSING,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to help determine whether to renovate or replace older public housing projects. This bill directs the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) to:
(1) Place a one-year moratorium on the demolition of public housing projects; and
(2) Identify, among other things, projects scheduled for demolition, the cost of recent pending demolitions, and the estimated cost of new projects.
Kokua Council testified in support of this bill. HPHA offered comments.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services & Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1536 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services & Housing,
