RE: H.C.R. No. 202
Honorable Scott K. Saiki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.C.R. No.
202 entitled:
“HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE UNITED STATES
CONGRESS TO SUPPORT THE WORKEORCE HOUSING TAX CREDIT ACT,”
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the United States
Congress to support the Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from the Pacific Housing Assistance Corporation.
Your Committee finds that as the price of housing continues
to rise, more and more middle—class Americans find themselves
opting for suitable rental housing rather than homeownership.
Your Committee further finds that the Workforce Housing Tax Credit
Act, which was first introduced in the United States Congress on
December 7, 2023, aims to increase the supply of affordable
housing for middle-income families who earn too much to qualify
for low-income affordable housing. Your Committee believes that
the passage of the federal Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act is
critically important to support the creation of new housing for
middle-income families.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your
2024—2540 HCR2O2 HSCR HMSO
 STAND. CON. REP. NO.ItfI~ -24
Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 202
and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on
behalf of the members of the
Committee on Housing,
