Urges the Department of Land and Natural Resources to transfer four parcels (tax map keys 9-1-016:008, 9-1-018:008, 9-1-018:014, and 9-1-017:097) comprising the East Kapolei Transit-Oriented Development Project to the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation.

The project encompasses three non-contiguous sites near the Kualakai, Keoneae, and Honouliuli rail stations, with plans for approximately 1,000 affordable rental units plus commercial, retail, hotel, medical, light industrial, and park-and-ride facilities.

Requests the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation partner with the Hawaii Community Development Authority to lead non-housing community development, infrastructure planning, and construction across the project area.

Revenue generated from the project should be shared with the Department of Land and Natural Resources under the proposed transfer arrangement.

The draft Environmental Impact Statement was published in July 2025, following public scoping meetings held in November 2022 and September 2024.
