STAND. COM. REP. NO.959

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2001

RE: S.B. No. 1016

S.D. 1

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Human Services and Housing, to which was referred S.B. No. 1016, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF HAWAII,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this bill is to include a resident, who is assisted by the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH), as a member of the HCDCH Board of Directors as required by federal law.

HCDCH supported the intent of this measure.

Your Committee finds that this measure would bring HCDCH into compliance with federal law, which requires each public housing agency to have on its governing board at least one member who is directly assisted under the federal low-rent public housing or Section 8 tenant-based housing assistance payments program.

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 S.B. No. 1016, S.D. 1, and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services and Housing,

____________________________
