RE: S.R. No. 202
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred S.R. No. 202
entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR, IN COLLABORATION
WITH THE COUNTY OF MAUI, TO PROVIDE A CLETUS STRATEGY FOR
ADDRESSING THE SHORT AND LONG-TERM HOUSING NEEDS FOR
RESIDENTS DISPLACED BY THE AUGUST 2023 MAUI WILDFIRES,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to request the
Governor, in collaboration with the County of Maui, to provide a
clear strategy for addressing the short- and long-term housing
needs for residents displaced by the August 2023 Maui wildfires.
Your Committee received comments on this measure from the
Office of the Governor and Hawaii Public Housing Authority.
Your Committee finds that the August 2023 Maui wildfires
displaced an estimated one thousand six hundred renters from their
homes. Your Committee further finds that there are significant
differing housing needs for displaced residents and meeting the
need for additional affordable rental housing is critical to
ensure that residents have access to housing when federal aid
subsides. Therefore, this measure requests a clear strategy to be
provided, detailing how the Governor and the County of Maui plan
to meet the housing needs of the residents of Maui.
