Do you have Unclaimed Property??

Dear District 13 Ohana,

Did you know State of Hawaii holds unclaimed property as a custodian for the rightful owner? Have you checked to see if you have Unclaimed Property? Many of us do and don’t even realize it. Some have a few cents to a few hundred or even a few thousand Dollars $$$. It is very easy to check and you can do it yourself from home. Please use the information on this card (Attached) to check to see if you, your family members or even your business/organization (past or present) have any Unclaimed property. The list is updated every year. If you do have unclaimed property is it very easy to fill out the forms and get them turned to the Unclaimed Property office. No fees and no lawyers needed. Feel free to contact my office if you have any questions or if I can be of service to you. Unclaimed Property Information

Evacuation Shelters for District 13

Aloha District 13,

With the Hurricanes happening on the Mainland many of you have asked about the Hurricane evacuation areas for our district.
My office called and spoke with the Maui Emergency Management Office. They confirmed that the list of emergency shelters listed on www.MauiReady.org is the most updated list.
The office also mentioned that for each “event” these shelters may change. They also mentioned that there is always at least one shelter that is Pet Friendly (the most common question they are asked) and that the location(s) of those shelters would be announced in the days leading up to the “event”.

They also suggested checking the www.MauiReady.org website. This website is maintained by the Maui DOH office and the Maui Emergency Management Office and is updated regularly.
Here is the Maui Ready shelter list: https://mauiready.org/emergency-shelter-locations/ Here is the Maui Ready Hurricane info page: https://mauiready.org/be-informed-2/hurricanes/

“The Women's March movement became an inclusive, non-partisan event where everyone was welcome and people of all creeds, colors, religions, political ideologies and backgrounds came together to address many unifying principals.” Rep DeCoite continued, “Teresa has shown ALL of us – especially our Keiki- that one person can make a difference and that when we come together anything is possible.”

Representative Lynn Decoite's Statement On Governor Ige's Announcement For The State To Provide The Highest Level of Funding Ever For Department of Hawaiian Home Lands

"I think this is a huge step in the right direction for the beneficiaries moving forward. My hope is that by adding funding for positions for DHHL this will help address the Hawaiian Homes Wait List, affordable housing needs and homeless issues. These are a few of the many reasons I felt it was my responsibility to introduce HB 1932 this session.

It is great that the Governor and both the House and Senate have agreed to increase funding to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands for 2016 and 2017, as well as, acknowledge that we must fulfill our constitutional obligation to sufficiently fund the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands and its beneficiaries.

I want to thank my colleagues for their support of HB 1932. I look forward to working with them and Governor Ige to get this important measure passed."
