Extends the sunset date of the state rent supplemental program for kupuna to 2028.

The bill addresses the risk of homelessness among Hawaii's kupuna, who face significant challenges due to rising rental prices and fixed incomes. Currently, the state rent supplemental program provides support to qualified kupuna who are homeless or at imminent risk of being homeless. However, this program is set to sunset in 2026, which would leave many kupuna without critical assistance. The bill seeks to extend the sunset date of this program to 2028, ensuring continued access to rent supplement assistance for qualified kupuna.
