STAND. COM. REP. NO. 919

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    H.B. No. 1119

       H.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Donna Mercado Kim

President of the Senate

Twenty-Seventh State Legislature

Regular Session of 2013

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred H.B. No. 1119, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to improve Hawaii's public housing by appropriating funds to assist the Hawaii Public Housing Authority with the redevelopment of Mayor Wright Homes.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from the Hawaii Public Housing Authority.

 

     Your Committee finds that Mayor Wright Homes is the first post-World War II public housing project by the Hawaii Housing Authority.  It is currently a three hundred sixty-four unit development that has continuously suffered from maintenance issues, property damage, sewage problems, and other facility upkeep problems.  Funds are needed to assist the Authority in redeveloping Mayor Wrights Homes and providing much needed housing for Hawaii's low-income residents.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1119, H.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
