HI HR60

Requests the United States Department of Defense increase on-base housing availability for active duty military personnel and their dependents stationed in Hawaii.

Calls for military commanders at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, United States Army Garrison Hawaii, and Marine Corps Base Hawaii to support construction of additional on-base housing to accommodate at least 90 percent of their active duty personnel and dependents by 2030.

Identifies Hawaii's high cost of living, housing scarcity, and competition between military personnel and civilian residents for limited housing as contributing factors to homelessness and affordable housing shortages in the state.

Notes that over 42,000 active duty military personnel were assigned to Hawaii military installations as of September 2022, and that approximately 70 percent of military personnel nationally choose to live off-base.

Requires certified copies of the resolution be transmitted to the Secretary of Defense, service secretaries, Indo-Pacific Command, and specified military commanders in Hawaii.
