HI SR45

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

Plan must include site identification with density specifications, strategies to maximize walkability and density, and an efficient financial plan with sustainable funding needs.

Plan must address personnel and government capacity requirements, and identify solutions to housing supply barriers including land availability, infrastructure, and diverse financing models.

Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation must submit the plan to the Legislature no later than twenty days before the 2026 Regular Session convenes.

Resolution cites 2019 Hawaii Housing Planning Study showing the state produced only 2,902 housing units annually (2010-2018) versus national average of 1.3% growth, with significant unmet demand across multiple income segments.
