RE: H.B. No. 1221
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 1221 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROJECTS,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to appropriate $50,000,000 in general obligation bond funds for affordable housing projects, with authority to use the funds to match federal funds appropriated for capital improvement projects under federal fiscal stimulus legislation.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Department of Community Services for the City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii Family Forum, and Roman Catholic Church in the State of Hawaii submitted testimony in support of this bill. The Hawaii Public Housing Authority opposed this measure. Comments were received from the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
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 H.B. No. 1221 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,
