                                   RE:  S.B. No. 580
                                        




Honorable Norman Mizuguchi
President of the Senate
Twentieth State Legislature
Regular Session of 1999
State of Hawaii

Sir:

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred S.B.
No. 580 entitled: 

     "A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROJECT FAITH,"

begs leave to report as follows:

     The purpose of this bill is to appropriate funds to assist
in the implementation of Project Faith.

     Project Faith is a project proposed by the Anahola
Homesteaders Council which will provide long-term jobs, native
business entrepreneurial opportunities, job training for youth,
and establish much needed facilities in the Anahola district,
including an elderly nursing care facility, an early education
and child care facility, a fire station, commercial office space,
and a cultural pavilion.

     Your Committee finds that there is significant community
support for Project Faith and that it will help to revitalize the
area, which has been beset by high unemployment and social
depression.

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your
Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your
Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No.
580 and recommends that it pass Third Reading.
