SR 193 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AGENCY TO UTILIZE FUNDS FOR NON-CONGREGATE HOUSING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS FOR AFFORDABLE RENTAL HOUSING.

This Senate Resolution urges the Federal Emergency Management Agency to use available funds to provide non-congregate housing solutions for residents displaced by the August 2023 Maui wildfires. The bill specifically targets renters and homeowners who need interim housing options beyond temporary rental assistance as federal aid is set to expire in 2025. It requests that FEMA clarify rules for using financial assistance, establish a decision-making process for support actions, and discuss transferring acquired assets to the state for long-term affordable rental housing development.
