HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

requesting an update of the state housing functional plan.

WHEREAS, the Hawaii State Planning Act, codified as chapter

226, Hawaii Revised Statutes, outlines a long-range guide for

Hawaii's future and establishes a statewide planning system; and

WHEREAS, section 226-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the state agency primarily responsible for a given functional area to prepare a functional plan for that area; and

WHEREAS, functional plans identify priority issues in the functional area and establish objectives, policies, and implementing actions to address those priority issues; and

WHEREAS, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation prepared the State Housing Functional Plan in 1989, which set out a comprehensive plan for the development, preservation, and management of housing in the State; and

WHEREAS, at the request of the Legislature, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation updated the State Housing Functional Plan in 1990 to address the housing needs of Hawaii's very low and lower income households; and

WHEREAS, the State's housing requirements have changed since the State Housing Functional Plan was last updated, including the need for housing in relation to transit-oriented development; now, therefore;

BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-eighth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2015, the Senate concurring, that the Governor, in
coordination with the Office of Planning and the Hawaii Housing

Finance and Development Corporation, is requested to update the

State Housing Functional Plan; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Governor, in coordination with the Office of Planning and the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, is requested to submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the Legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the Regular Session of 2016; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Director of the Office of Planning, and the Executive Director of the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.
