HB921

Adds the chairperson of the Hawaiian Homes Commission to the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation board.

This bill amends the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation's board of directors by adding the chairperson of the Hawaiian Homes Commission, or their designee, as an ex officio voting member. The board, which is responsible for setting policies and priorities for housing projects, will now include this additional member to promote a more holistic approach to housing needs and protect the interests of beneficiaries of the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920. The chairperson of the Hawaiian Homes Commission will not be eligible to serve as the board's chairperson.
