Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 862, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOUSING,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to assist the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation (HHFDC) in its collection of the amounts owing to it under shared appreciation equity and other liens when the property is sold or foreclosed upon.  To further facilitate collection, this bill also requires HHFDC to receive written notice of an intent to foreclose 45 days prior to commencement of the foreclosure proceedings.

 

     HHFDC and the Honolulu Department of Community Services supported this bill.  The Office of Hawaiian Affairs supported the intent of this bill.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 862, S.D. 2, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
