RESOLUTION
encouraging the Hawaii public housing authority, department of Hawaiian home lands, Hawaii housing finance and development corporation, and Hawaii community development authority to build sustainable, multi-generational, mixed income, and mixed use housing.
WHEREAS, over the past several years, the issue of affordable housing has been at the forefront of people's minds due to rising home prices; and
WHEREAS, affordable housing issues affect people of varying income brackets; and
WHEREAS, many households in the State are multi-generational households, in which grandparents, parents, and children live together; and
WHEREAS, Hawaii is an island state with limited resources, making it critical to encourage sustainable building design, construction, and renovation in a manner that provides a healthier environment, reduces operating costs, and conserves energy and resources; and
WHEREAS, mixed-use housing developments that combine residential units with retail, office, and other commercial space within a single building, help create walkable, robust communities that limit sprawl and reduce transportation-related energy costs; and
WHEREAS, other jurisdictions have experienced success with developing sustainable, multi-generational, mixed income, and mixed use housing; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2014, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, and Hawaii Community Development Authority are encouraged to build sustainable, multi-generational, mixed income, and mixed use housing; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Executive Director of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority, Chairperson of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, Executive Director of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, and Executive Director of the Hawaii Community Development Authority.
