HI SR142

Urges the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands to consider building affordable rental housing for homeless Native Hawaiians, including transitional, permanent, or rent-to-own options.

Identifies that approximately 27 percent of those using shelter or outreach programs in Hawaii are Native Hawaiian or part Native Hawaiian, according to the 2012 Homeless Service Utilization Report.

Stipulates that living in affordable rental housing on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands' properties would not remove individuals from the waiting list for Hawaiian Home Lands housing.

Directs transmission of a certified copy of the resolution to the Chairperson of the Hawaiian Homes Commission.
