AI Summary

  • Imposes perpetual deed restrictions on housing developed with government funds or assistance to maintain affordability at the original area median income (AMI) level for all future sales

  • Eliminates the previous 10-year time limit after which owners could sell at market rate, replacing it with permanent price controls tied to AMI levels

  • Removes provisions allowing sellers to receive appreciation-based returns, limiting resale prices to the AMI-adjusted amount plus cost of improvements and amounts owed to the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation

  • Requires nonprofit housing trusts that acquire such properties to maintain affordability restrictions in perpetuity rather than "as long as practicable"

  • Amends HRS sections 201H-47, 201H-49, and 201H-23 to create a separate "local housing market" where prices reflect local wages rather than global buyer resources
