Appropriates $100,000,000 for fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 for new housing units for native Hawaiians.
Hawaii HB581 allocates $100,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 to support the construction of new housing units for native Hawaiians. This funding aims to address the longstanding issue of insufficient housing within the Hawaiian home lands program, which was established by the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920. The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands has been proactive in utilizing previous appropriations to build thousands of units, but additional funding is necessary to meet the needs of the over 28,000 individuals on the waitlist.
