RE: S.C.R. No. 217
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 S.C.R. No.
217 entitled:
“SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION URGING THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY
MANAGEMENT AGENCY TO UTILIZE FUNDS FOR NON-CONGREGATE HOUSING
FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS FOR AFFORDABLE
RENTAL HOUSING,
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to urge the Federal Emergency
Management Agency to utilize funds for non-congregate housing for
infrastructure and development needs for affordable rental
housing.
Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure
from one member of the Maui County Council.
Your Committee finds that as a result of the devastating
August 2023 wildfires in Maui, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency is currently providing housing relief aid through temporary
rental assistance to eligible residents. However, your Committee
notes that this assistance is set to expire in 2025. Your
Committee believes that further collaboration and funding from all
levels of government is needed to address the immense cost of
rebuilding areas affected by the wildfires.
