RE: S.R. No. 195
S. D. 1
Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi
President of the Senate
Thirty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2024
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Public Safety and Intergovernmental and
Military Affairs, to which was referred S.R. No. 195 entitled:
"SENATE RESOLUTION URGING THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
AGENCY TO EXPEDITE THE PLACEMENT OF MAUI WILDFIRE SURVIVORS
INTO THE FEDERAL DIRECT LEASE PROGRAM,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose and intent of this measure is to urge the Federal
Emergency Management Agency to expedite the placement of Maui
wildfire survivors into the Direct Lease Program.
Your Committee received no testimony on this measure.
Your Committee finds that as of March 2024, hundreds of
survivors and families of the August 2023 Maui wildfires are still
without long-term housing. Your Committee further finds that one
option for long-term housing is the Federal Emergency Management
Agency's Direct Lease Program, wherein the agency leases existing,
ready-to-occupy residential properties for use as temporary
housing for families displaced by wildfires. Your Committee
concludes that it is a moral and financial priority for the State
to move as many survivors as possible into long-term housing
programs by expediting the Direct Lease Program process.
