SR 49 Hawaii Senate · 2024 Regular Session

URGING THE HAWAII HOUSING FINANCE AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION TO DEVELOP A PLAN TO BUILD ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND HOMES OVER THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

This Senate resolution asks the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation to create a ten-year plan to build 100,000 homes to address the state's housing shortage. The requested plan must outline strategies to overcome specific barriers such as inadequate infrastructure, restrictive zoning rules, complicated regulations, community opposition, and high construction costs. The resolution directs the agency to submit this plan to its board chairperson and executive director, serving as a formal request rather than a law that mandates immediate action.
