RE: S.R. No. 193
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. 193
entitled:
"SENATE 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 and intent 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 the repopulation of the areas
affected by the August 2023 Maui wildfires and the redevelopment
of permanent affordable housing is estimated to take many years.
Your Committee further finds that meeting the needs for additional
interim housing solutions is critical to ensure flexibility in
keeping communities together when the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's rental assistance expires in 2025. Therefore, this
measure requests the Federal Emergency Management Agency to use
funds to develop infrastructure to meet the long-term housing
needs of residents displaced by the August 2023 Maui wildfires.
