State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committees on Water and Land and Housing, to which was
referred S.R. No. 44 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE HAWAII COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH A MULTIAGENCY WORKING GROUP TO UPDATE
THE MAPS, TIER TABLES, AND INVENTORIES OF STATE LANDS
SUITABLE AND AVAILABLE FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT,"
beg leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the Hawaii
Community Development Authority to establish a multiagency working
group to update maps, tier tables, and inventories of state lands
suitable and available for affordable housing development.
Your Committees received testimony in support of this measure
from the Department of Accounting and General Services and Hawaii
Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
Your Committees received comments on this measure from the
Office of Planning and Sustainable Development and Hawai‘i
Community Development Authority.
Your Committees find that Hawaii has been in the midst of a
housing shortage for decades. A 2015 report by the Department of
Business, Economic Development and Tourism titled "Measuring
Housing Demand in Hawaii, 2015-2025" projected that housing demand
will exceed sixty thousand units, with nearly seventy percent

needed for households earning eighty percent or less of the Area
Median Income. Your Committees conclude that updates to the maps,
tier tables, and inventories of state lands will be a helpful tool
for the development of new affordable housing.
Your Committees recognize that resources are needed for the
Hawaii Community Development Authority as well as for
infrastructure needs for the future.
Your Committees have amended this measure by making
technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity
and consistency.
As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your
Committees on Water and Land and Housing that are attached to this
report, your Committees concur with the intent and purpose of S.R.
No. 44, as amended herein, and recommend its adoption in the form
attached hereto as S.R. No. 44, S.D. 1.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
