Public Support Sought For HB 606, DHHL Legislative Package
The Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) is seeking public support for HB 606. This bill, introduced by the Native Hawaiian Affairs Caucus, aims to provide additional funding for more than 20 projects planned for development by DHHL. The allocation of additional funds would also extend the Act 279 Special Fund until June 2028.
Known as the “Waitlist Reduction Act,” Act 279, SLH 2022, appropriated $600 million in general funds to implement a comprehensive strategy to reduce the DHHL waiting list.
“With more than 29,000 of our people on the waiting list, there is a clear need for additional funding,” said DHHL Director Kali Watson about HB 606. “The department is actively developing 28 housing projects; additional funding and an extension of the Act 279 Special Fund is essential for the ongoing success of our program.”
In addition to HB 606, DHHL has introduced a dozen bills as part of its legislative proposal. Eleven are still moving through the legislative process.
