H.C.R. No. 90 Summary

• Urges the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation to develop a comprehensive plan to produce sufficient housing to meet the State's demand

• Notes Hawaii produced only 26,152 housing units between 2010-2018 (2,902 units per year, 0.6% annual growth), below the national average of 1.3%

• Identifies that HHFDC has been overbuilding low-income rental units (50-60% of area median income) despite projections showing demand of only 1,789 units over 2020-2025, while ignoring greater demand for middle-income and ownership housing

• Cites that 24% of Hawaii residents plan to move out-of-state, with housing costs and availability cited as a primary reason for out-migration

• Requires HHFDC to submit the housing plan to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2026 Regular Session
