                                 RE: H.B. No. 904
                                     




Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was
referred H.B. No. 904 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING APPROPRIATIONS AND AUTHORIZING THE
     ISSUANCE OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL
     IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds for various
capital improvement projects:

     (1)  Including upgrading the site and buildings to provide
          housing for the homeless at Barbers Point Naval Air
          Station; and

     (2)  For housing improvements for federal low-rent projects.

     The Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii
submitted testimony in support of the intent of this measure, but
could not support the appropriation since it is not consistent
with the Executive Budget request.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Human Services and Housing that is attached to this
report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose
of H.B. No. 904 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be
referred to the Committee on Public Safety and Military Affairs.

                                   Committee on Human Services
                                   and Housing,
