B.S Slgniflcant Amendment or l\lodllkation. Provide a statement on the criteria used for detennining a significnnt amendment or modification 10 the 5-YcnrPlen

In accordance with 24 CFR §903.7(r)(2) which requires public housing authorities to identify the basic criteria the agency will use to determine a substantial deviation from its 5-Year Plan and significant amendments or modification to the 5-Year Plan and Annual Plan, the following definitions are used:

Substantial Deviation: A substantial change in the goals identified in the Five-Year Plan. For example, making a formal decision not to pursue a listed goal; or substituting an entirely different set of activities to achieve the goal.

Significant Amendment/Modification: Adding or eliminating major strategies to address housing needs and to major policies (e.g., policies governing eligibility, selection or admissions and rent determination) or programs (e.g., demolition or disposition, designation, homeownership programs or conversion activities); or modifying a strategy such that a substantial transfer of resources away from others is necessary in order to carry it out. Under this PHA Five Year Plan, the HPHA is clarifying that any change required to comply with state or federal rule, law, or regulation, where the HPHA is not able to adopt discretionary policy, would not be considered a significant amendment or modification. However, the HPHA would continue to work with the Resident Advisory Board, Resident Associations, and staff for comments.

For Capital Fund Program projects that deviate from the Capital Fund Program Five-Year Action Plan and the Capital Fund Program Annual State/Performance and Evaluation Reports, only projects that meet the following criteria shall require 5-Year and Annual Plan Amendment: the amount of funds being required exceeds $10 Million; number of units being worked on comprises more than I 5% of a developments ACC unit count; or work requires the relocation of more than two neighboring occupied units. Where work is not specifically budgeted, monetary placeholders will be provided in lieu of specific development language.

Housing Market Analysis

Housing Market Area: The Hawaii Housing Market Area (HMA) is defined as the State of Hawaii which is comprised of the City& County of Honolulu and Counties of Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui.

The following housing market analysis is based primarily on information from the following sources: DBEDT, “Measuring Housing Demand in Hawaii, 2015-2025,” April 2015; Rick Cassiday, “Affordable Rental Housing Study Updates, 2014” for Honolulu, Hawaii, Kauai, and Maui, December 2014; and U.S. Census, 2009-2013 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.

Housing Demand: Housing demand is impacted by population growth, high cost of housing, the military presence, domestic migration and immigration, and foreign investment in Hawaii real estate. As of July 2013, the resident population of the HMA is approximately 1,404,054. Between 1990 and 2013, population grew at an average annual rate of 1.0%. The City & County of Honolulu experienced slower population growth at 0.7% a year, Hawaii and Maui counties grew at 2.0%, while Kauai County grew at 1.3% per year.

The resident population of Hawaii, which includes active-duty military personnel and their dependents, is projected to increase to 1,708,900 in 2014, an average growth rate of 0.8% per year over the projection period. The Neighbor Island counties are projected to have higher population growth than Honolulu. The resident population of Honolulu is projected to increase at an annual rate of 0.4% from 2010 to 2040, while Hawaii is projected to grow at 1.6% annually, Maui County at 1.4%, and Kauai County at 1.1%. As a result, the Neighbor Island population as the share of the state total will increase from 29.9% in 2010 to 36.4%in 2040, while the corresponding share of the City and County of Honolulu is projected to decrease from 70.1% to 63.6%. … Migration is one of the most important contributors to the state’s population growth. Foreign migration to Hawaii has been steady, increasing from 5,400 people per year on average in the 1900s to about 6,600 people over the past decade. However, domestic migration had a stronger increase, form about 32,000 people per year in the 1900s to above 43,000 people per year on average since 2002.

Another important driver of housing demand is the increase in the number of residential rental units being used as vacation rentals. There is evidence that local residential housing units are increasingly catering visitors, either full or part time. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, “…the popularity and demand for alternative accommodations have grown rapidly over the years. If all of the identified units were available for visitor use at the same time, these units would account for up to 25% of Hawaii’s total lodging inventory…”

Foreign buyers are yet another source of increased demand for housing in the local real estate market. The National Association of Realtors estimates that foreign buyers of properties in Hawaii Account for 3.6% of all homes sold in 2012. Furthermore, in 2013, Hawaii properties were the second most popular for the Japanese buyers and the fourth most popular for the Canadian buyers. This increased demand from foreign buyers exerts additional price pressures on the housing sector, since often foreign buyers are not income-constrained and, in many cases, buy properties with cash.

DBEDT forecasts a long-range demand for a total of about 64,700 new housing units in Hawaii by the year 2025. Thus is based largely on the assumed increase in the number of households and is dependent on changes in social and economic factors, expected migration and immigration, and expected changes in the size and age distribution of the adult population. Forecasted demand by county is as follows:

Honolulu, 25,800 units; Hawaii, 19,600 units; Maui, 14,000 units; and Kauai, 5,300 units.

Number of Housing Units

In 2009-2013, Hawaii had a total of 522,200 housing units, 14% of which were vacant. Of the total housing units, 62% were single-unit structures, 38% were in multi-unit structures, and less than 0.5% were mobile homes. An estimated 29% of the housing units were built since 1990.

73

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

In the 1980s, the available housing inventory expanded by an average of just under 6,000 units per year. In the 1990s, the housing inventory increased by nearly 7,000 units per year and remained at about this level in the years prior to the recession (expanding by about 6,500 units per year between 2000 and 2008). As the economy recovered from the recession between 2009 and 2013, the housing supply expanded at a slower pace at only about 2,400 units per year.

In 1990, Honolulu accounted for 72.3% of the housing units, followed by Hawaii, Maui then Kauai at 12.4%, 10.8%, and 4.5% respectively. By 2013, Honolulu County accounted for 64.7% of total state housing units, Hawaii County had 16.0%; Maui County had 13.5% while Kauai County had 5.7% of the total.

The 2009-2013 ACS 5-Year Estimates reports that of the 449,800 occupied housing units, 259,300 (58%) were owner occupied and 190,500 (42%) were renter occupied. Historically, the homeownership rate in Hawaii has increased from approximately 50% in 1986 to above 60% between 2004 and 2007. As a result of the recession, the homeownership rate in Hawaii fell to about 55% in 2011. However, as the economy has recovered, the rate has been increasing.

After the recession, there was a temporary shift from owning to renting that was caused by a variety of factors including stricter mortgage lending requirements, job losses, and rapid increases in home prices which priced many potential home buyers out of the market. This in turn resulted in sustained rental price increases. While homeownership rates have recently increased, they are still below the pre-recession level.

The increase in Hawaii’s housing stock needs to be compared with the population increase over time. The figure below highlights the expansion of housing supply in the late 1980s and early 2000s, compared with annual population growth. There is an increasing gap between annual population growth and housing supply growth. The result of this increasing gap has been continued housing price increases, leading to an unbalanced housing market.

Building permit activity provides a way to project where the housing markets is going in the short-term. A high level of activity indicates more supply, which means that more demand will be met, and the potential for prices adjusting downwards. A low level of permits indicates less supply of housing and potentially higher prices.

The permit data for residential construction is not encouraging. There has not been a sustained increase in private residential construction, which is required to increase the housing supply.

Construction continues to be one of the steady contributors to job growth in Hawaiì but is heading towards its peak. According to UHERO, University of Hawaiì Economic Research Organization’s Annual Hawaiì Forecast dated December 11, 2015, “The construction cycle is now in full swing. The pace of new permitting and job creation has picked up considerable this year, and we are finally beginning to see increased activity on the Neighbor Islands. Construction activity will continue to expand for the next several years, with growth falling off later in the decade.” In their December 16, 2016 Annual Hawaiì Forecast with Asia-Pacific Outlook, UHERO reported that the Hawaiì economy continues to perform well with construction topping out in 2018 and a slowing of annual job growth to half-percent by the end of the decade.

The Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT) reported that the indicators of Hawaii’s construction industry were mixed in the third quarter of 2016, the construction jobs and government contracts awarded increased, but State CIP expenditures decreased.

While the third quarter of 2016 private building authorizations in the state could not be computed lacking Mauì County’s statistics, the report states that in the third quarter of 2016 in Honolulu County alone, private building authorizations in the state increased $41.6 million or 7.1 percent, compared with the third quarter of 2015. Hawaiì County experienced a decrease of 13.9 percent ($23.3 million) while Kauaiì County increased $10.8 million or 37.0 percent compared with the third quarter of 2015. At the same time, government contracts awarded increased $428 million or 87.9 percent in the third quarter of 2016 compared with the previous year. According to their fourth quarter report, “Hawaiì’s economy is expected to continue positive growth for the rest of 2016 and into 2017. This outlook is based on the most recent developments in the national and global economies, the performance of Hawaiì’s tourism industry, labor market conditions, and the growth of personal income and tax revenues.”

Pacific Business News reported that a shortage of labor is driving a rise in overall construction costs which is a big issue for the industry. The shortage of labor is leading to more inexperienced workers getting jobs in the industry. Our Construction Branch experienced an increase of 6% to 12% in labor and construction costs as compared to federal and state wage rates from 2015 to 2016 and independent construction cost estimates. The increased demand for labor

74

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

is having a major detrimental impact on hiring for the Construction Branch which remains severely understaffed with either inexperienced applicants or State Civil Service salary rates not able to compete with the private sector.

Cost of Housing

The median monthly housing costs for mortgaged owners in 2013 was the highest in Honolulu County at $2,362 per month, followed by Maui County at $2,261 per month, Kauai County at $2,022, and Hawaii County at $1,637 per month.

Oahu renters paid the highest median rent in 2013 at $1,535 per month, followed by Maui County renters at $1,292 per month, Kauai County rents at $1,281, and Hawaii County renters with the lowest rent at $1,017 per month.

An estimated 48% of owners with mortgages, 12% of owners without mortgages, and 56% of renters in Hawaii spent 30% or more of household income on housing.

Hawaii’s median housing value increased from $496,600 in 2012 to $500,000 in 2013. This increase, however, was not statistically different. Hawaii remained #1 in the ranking with the highest median housing value in the U.S.

2. Deconcentration and Other Policies that Govern Eligibility, Selection, and Admissions

The HPHA is proposing the following amendments/revisions/updates under the Section 8 program(s) in order to prevent circumventing the waiting lists and promote efficiency:

• Update policy on additions to the household after admission into the Housing Choice Voucher program to denyadditions of an additional family consisting of more than one member to the Housing Choice Voucher except bybirth, adoption, or court awarded custody, hanai, or marriage, when the addition would increase the subsidy to thefamily. (982.402, 982.401(d), 982.4. [24 CFR 982.551(h)(2)]

• Adopt policy on changes to household composition when a family member who is 18 and over removethemselves from the household; and to establish the following policies when such family members seekreadmission to the household: [24 CFR 982.551(h)(2)]

as a reasonable accommodation, may allow such family members to be added to the household as a live-in-aide only

• Update policy regarding the designation of the head of household, spouse, and co-head of the family in the eventof marriage of the head or co-head individuals who may not be related by blood, marriage, adoption, or otheroperation of law, subsequent to admission to the program, to clarify as follows: [HUD 50058 Instruction Booklet]

A. If the head marries, the head’s spouse automatically replaces the original co-head as the spouse. The originalco-head automatically becomes an authorized family member.

B. If the co-head marries, as a family can only have a spouse or co-head, but not both, the family determineswhether the co-head’s spouse will become the head of household, or an authorized household member.

• Adopt revisions to the Section 8 policy to shorten the length of time for a temporary absence from 120 days to 90days, other than students and foster care. [24 CFR 982.312]

• Adopt policy requiring live-in aides to establish legal residency in the United States to receive subsidy for anadditional bedroom in the Section 8 program, and to occupy an additional bedroom in the public housingprogram. (24 CFR Section 982.402(a), 24 CFR Section 982.402(b)(8), § 982.402(b)(6), 24 CFR Section 5.403, 24CFR Section 982.316)

• Adopt policy to include special unit types including single room occupancy to expand lease up options forvoucher holders and ensure that the program is readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities inaccordance with 24 CFR part 8. (24 CFR 982.601.b)

• Adopt a policy that allows the HPHA to change a participant’s voucher size at the time of the change to thehousehold and not wait until the next recertification.24 CFR 982.516(e)(1)

• Update HPHA’s administrative rules and administrative plan with policies regarding VASH voucher, includingconversion of a VASH voucher to a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher when the qualifying veteran or veteran’sno longer needs the VASH voucher or qualifies for the VASH voucher. [24 CFR 982]

• Update policy for repayment agreements.Per PIH 200-19 expired May 31, 2011

• Adopt administrative rules to implement Hawaii Revised Statutes §356D-13.5 regarding remaining members ofassisted tenant families to allow only the original household members at the time of voucher issuance to retain thevoucher where other members of the family have left the unit; and to provide for the automatic return of thevoucher to the HPHA once all original household members are no longer in the household; and to provide anexception for families where the original parents in the household are survived by minors who were subsequentlyadded to the household, until the youngest minor reaches the age of 21 years, or reaches the age of 23 if theyoungest minor is a full-time student at a business school, technical school, college, community college, oruniversity

• Adopt administrative rules to allow the HPHA to implement a lottery system to:A. Randomly choose families (excluding the elderly, disabled, and victims of domestic violence) to terminate

from the Housing Choice Voucher Program if the HPHA must terminate Housing Assistance Paymentscontracts due to insufficient funding; and

B. Randomly choose families (considering all adopted preferences) to place on the waiting lists process forparticipation in the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

• Adopt rules to conduct Home Quality Standards (HQS) inspections every other year, except in circumstanceswhere HPHA may determine a need for an annual inspection (e.g. tenant complaint).

1. Existing public housing tenants who are involuntarily displaced for reasons such as for relocation due to

modernization activity, or based on an emergency where conditions of the public housing dwelling unit,

building, or project pose an immediate, verifiable threat to life, health or safety of the family, and the

family cannot be relocated to another public housing unit in the same program, meeting their needs.

2. Approved for a transfer as a reasonable accommodation for a unit with special features, and have not been

offered a unit in the public housing program that meets the family’s needs and have waited over one year.

3. Victims of domestic violence, or stalking, or reprisals, or hate crime, and cannot be safely transferred to

another public housing unit in the same program.

4. Homeless families, provided “Homeless” is defined by HUD.

The HPHA plans to adopt changes to its Administrative Rules, Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy, and Administrative Plan as follows:

• Incorporate proposed changes to cease requiring proof of adoption or court-awarded custody in applications forpublic housing or in adding children to a resident's household and lease, consistent with state and federal fairhousing law, which prohibits discrimination based on familial status. Hawaii law allows for the addition of“hanai children” into a household with written or unwritten permission from the child’s parents.

• Adopt and incorporate future changes determined to be required under applicable state or federal law, rule, orregulation.

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

5. Operations and Management

The HPHA plans to undertake the following activities:

• Adopt new administrative rules and changes to the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy to provide forindividual relief from surcharges for excess consumption of HPHA purchased utilities or from payment of utilitysupplier billings in excess of the allowances for resident-purchased utilities

• Update Utility Allowance schedules for the public housing and voucher programs as required

• Implement public housing security improvements, including without limitation, securing legislation to allowHPHA to implement no trespassing restrictions 24 hours a day, establish quite times, utilize and require tenant IDcards, install video cameras and security features

• Update and strengthen rules and policies related to drug use and serious criminal activities that threaten the healthand safety of the public housing projects, including threats to staff and destruction of property

• Adopt rules allowing families that exceed the largest public housing unit size to receive a Section 8 HousingChoice Voucher, rather than splitting the household to fit into existing unit sizes.

• Evaluate the current administration of HPHA’s Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program (Due to the recentchange in funding levels for the Section 8 HCV Program by HUD, HPHA will be exploring options to maximizethe number of voucher participants within the current HUD funding level):1. Increase the current number of active vouchers by leveraging HPHA’s “High Performer” status to participate

in any current or future HUD programs and /or create and implement new programs in conjunction with the

local HUD office. Close the Palolo Project Based Voucher wait list except in 2016 for four bedroom units.

2. Open and closed the wait list in 2017 for a limited time if necessary to ensure an adequate pool of applicants

3. Conduct a utility usage study to determine whether the utility allowance is more efficiently used based in the

unit size or the voucher size.

• Adopt rules regarding remaining members of assisted tenant families to allow only the original household membersat the time of placement in federal public housing program to retain the unit and public housing assistance whereother members of the family have left the unit; and to provide for the termination of the rental agreement/assistanceor nonrenewal of the rental agreement once all household members are no longer in the household; and to providean exception for families where the original parents in the household are survived by minors who were subsequentlyadded to the household, until the minors reach a certain age (e.g., 21 years of age).

• Revise the Admissions and Continued Occupancy Policy and applicable administrative rules to allowadditions of more than one family member as long as the addition does not require the family to betransferred to a larger unit and as long as the addition would not cause overcrowding of the unit inaccordance with county occupancy standards.

• Adopt rules for tenants that enter public housing by way of citizen sponsorship into the State of Hawaii,to include the income of the sponsor when calculating the rent for the tenants.

• Make available not less than fifty per cent of available federal and state low-income housing units for applicantswithout preference and up to fifty per cent of available federal and state low-income housing units for applicantswith preference as mandated by ACT148-2013.

• Implement recently adopted Hawaii Administrative Rule (HAR) revisions to prohibit smoking in public housingand provide tenants with revised lease addenda outlining enforcement strategies for the “No Smoking” policy,including reviewing and amending the HAR based on HUD’s forthcoming rules.

• Assess and evaluate the flat rent option consistent with HUD rules

• The HPHA will adopt Hawaii Administrative Rules regarding the establishment and recognition of residentassociations. HPHA will require that resident associations have duly elected board members, rather than appointedboard members

6. Significant Amendment/Modification

Significant Amendment/Modification: Adding or eliminating major strategies to address housing needs and to major policies (e.g., policies governing eligibility, selection or admissions and rent determination) or programs (e.g., demolition or disposition, designation, homeownership programs or conversion activities); or modifying a strategy such that a substantial transfer of resources away from others is necessary in order to carry it out. Under this PHA Annual Plan, the HPHA is clarifying that any change required to comply with state or federal rule, law, or regulation, where the HPHA is not able to adopt discretionary policy, would not be considered a significant amendment.

78

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

However, the HPHA would continue to work with the Resident Advisory Board, Resident Associations, and staff for comments.

For Capital Fund Program projects that deviate from the Capital Fund Program Five-Year Action Plan and the Capital Fund Program Annual State/Performance and Evaluation Reports, only projects that meet the following criteria shall require 5-Year and Annual Plan Amendment: the amount of funds being required exceeds $10 Million; number of units being worked on comprises more than 15% of a developments ACC unit count; or work requires the relocation of more than two neighboring occupied units. Where work is not specifically budgeted, monetary placeholders will be provided in lieu of specific development language.

(c) The PHA must submit its Deconcentration Policy for Field Office review.

See Attachment A: Deconcentration Policy.

B.2 New Activities.

(a) Does the PHA intend to undertake any new activities related to the following in the PHA’s current Fiscal Year?

Y N Hope VI or Choice Neighborhoods. Mixed Finance Modernization or Development. Demolition and/or Disposition. Designated Housing for Elderly and/or Disabled Families. Conversion of Public Housing to Tenant-Based Assistance. Conversion of Public Housing to Project-Based Assistance under RAD. Occupancy by Over-Income Families. Occupancy by Police Officers. Non-Smoking Policies. Project-Based Vouchers. Units with Approved Vacancies for Modernization. Other Capital Grant Programs (i.e., Capital Fund Community Facilities Grants or Emergency Safety and

Security Grants).

(b) If any of these activities are planned for the current Fiscal Year, describe the activities. For new demolitionactivities, describe any public housing development or portion thereof, owned by the PHA for which the PHA hasapplied or will apply for demolition and/or disposition approval under section 18 of the 1937 Act under the separatedemolition/disposition approval process. If using Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs), provide the projected number ofproject based units and general locations, and describe how project basing would be consistent with the PHA Plan.

HOPE VI or Choice Neighborhoods

The HPHA will assess the feasibility of pursuing all means of financing, including the HOPE VI or Choice Neighborhoods programs, if appropriate for its redevelopment efforts at Mayor Wright Homes, Kuhio Park Terrace and potential future developments at Puuwai Momi, AMP 37, AMP 38, or AMP 39.

Mixed Finance Modernization or Development

Mayor Wright Homes redevelopment (AMP 32, Project #1003; 364 units) HPHA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on July 11, 2014 for a developer/partner to compete a mixed-income, mixed-finance, mixed-use redevelopment project at Mayor Wright Homes. Hunt Development Companies was selected as the Master Developer team leader, and a Predevelopment Agreement was executed on March 24, 2016. An Environmental Impact Report preparation notice was sent out last year. It is anticipated that construction will begin in approximately two years following master planning and environmental reviews.

79

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

Kuhio Park Terrace, Kuhio Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace Low-Rise Redevelopment (AMP 40, Project #s 1007, 1010; 174 units) HPHA received a $300,000 Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (CNI) planning grant in 2012, which resulted in a comprehensive Transformation Plan with input from community members, stakeholders and partners to revitalize the Kuhio Park Terrace, Kuhio Homes, Kuhio Park Terrace Low-Rise and Kalihi neighborhood area. A predevelopment agreement and Regulatory and Operating Agreement will be negotiated with Michaels Development Group for the second phase. It is anticipated that once agreement is reached, construction will begin in approximately two years following master planning and environmental reviews.

Mixed Finance Redevelopment In its portfolio, the HPHA will evaluate and identify additional properties on all islands that have potential for public-private, mixed-finance, mixed income, mixed-use redevelopment opportunities through Section 18 of the Housing Act of 1937 and various HUD programs including, but not limited to, the Rental Assistance Demonstration program, Choice Neighborhoods Initiative, VASH and any other federal, state, or local source, such as the issuance of PHA bonds pursuant to Chapter 356D, Hawaii Revised Statutes. Potential properties currently under review include Puuwai Momi at AMP 30 and properties at AMP 37, AMP 38, and AMP 39 for their redevelopment potential.

Through public/private partnerships, the redevelopment of public housing and other properties will enhance communities with updated or new amenities for residents, such as public spaces and parking.

Demolition/Disposition

The HPHA plans to request HUD approval for non-exclusive easements for reasons such as utility access over the federal public housing properties, or for other public benefit oftentimes related to its construction modernization activities. Such easement requests will not affect the ACC units count. If an easement is determined to be necessary, HPHA will follow HUD’s Demolition/Disposition protocol to apply for and obtain the necessary approvals to proceed with rights of entry or granting of non-exclusive easement. The HPHA will pursue disposition of Mayor Wright Homes as part of a larger mixed finance redevelopment project.

Conversion of Public Housing to Project-Based Assistance under RAD.

The HPHA is currently in negotiations for two mixed finance redevelopment projects: Mayor Wright Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace/Kuhio Homes. As part of the process, the HPHA will analyze the feasibility of converting public housing units to project based vouchers under the RAD program. All, a portion, or none of the two subject properties may be submitted in an application to HUD.

Project-Based Vouchers

HPHA plans to evaluate the property inventory for potential sites that might benefit from the use of project-based vouchers in addition to the properties listed below. The agency will also evaluate potential application for participation in the new HUD Rental Assistance Demonstration program.

150 Project-based vouchers are part of the Kuhio Park Terrace Towers redevelopment, and the HPHA is considering adding additional Project-based vouchers for the Kuhio Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace Low-Rise redevelopment. (HPHA is seeking additional replacement housing vouchers for public housing units that will be temporarily removed from inventory while the Kuhio Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace Low-Rise are redeveloped. Those units will be restored in future phases when redevelopment has been completed.)

305 units at Palolo Homes I and II: The Palolo Homes I and II site-based waiting list was closed by the Section 8 Branch last year, except for 4 bedroom units. The list was reopened on November 3-5, 2016. The waiting list will be reopened as needed. The HPHA will provide adequate public notice prior to reopening the waiting list.

Consistent with the HPHA’s efforts to sustain and increase the availability of decent, safe, and affordable housing, the HPHA plans to continue its utilization of rent subsidy vouchers through the Federal Project-Based Certificate/Voucher Program. The HPHA will earmark up to the maximum allowable vouchers as specified in 24 CFR 983 and will utilize projects based on the counties of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii in accordance with program guidelines and objectives.

80

of 21 form HUD-50075-ST (12/2014)

To maximize utilization and to encourage tenant development, HPHA applied for and received HUD approval on August 8, 2001, to exceed the 25 percent cap for dwelling units in any building to be assisted under a housing assistance payment (HAP) by requiring owners to offer supportive services. To minimize the loss of existing housing inventories, HPHA applied for and received HUD approval on October 4, 2001 to attach Project Based Assistance to State-owned public housing projects in areas, which exceed the 20 percent poverty rate limitation.

The HPHA is considering the use of project based vouchers for the redevelopment of its property at 1002 North School Street.

Units with Approved Vacancies for Modernization.

The HPHA continues to consider different ways to decrease unit turnaround time, improve occupancy, increase staff efficiencies. The HPHA plans to permanently implement a multi-skilled worker program and establish a qualified force account to perform capital repairs on vacant units. By establishing a force account, the HPHA will provide the HPHA more flexibility and the ability to utilize its skilled labor and resources more efficiently.

Other Capital Grant Programs (i.e., Capital Fund Community Facilities Grants or Emergency Safety and Security Grants).

The HPHA will continue to review and determine the appropriateness of submitting competitive grant applications for other capital grant programs. If a grant is determined to be appropriate and a suitable target site can be identified, the HPHA plans to apply for grant programs for community facilities, emergency safety and security grants, etc. The HPHA’s AMPs on the Leeward Coast, Windward Oahu, Central Oahu, Honolulu, and Maui are potential sites for emergency safety and security grants. AMPs on Honolulu and Hawaii are potential sites for grants for community facilities.

B.3 Civil Rights Certification.

Form HUD-50077, PHA Certifications of Compliance with the PHA Plans and Related Regulations, must be submitted by the PHA as an electronic attachment to the PHA Plan.

Hawaii Public Housing Authority Annual Plan

Fiscal Year 2017-2018

DECONCENTRA TION POLICY ACOP, Chapter 4, Section J

Attachment A

It is the intent of the PHA to promote adequate and affordable housing, economic opportunity and a suitable living environment free of discrimination. Tenant selection and assignment for federal public housing shall be made without regard to race, color, religion, ancestry/national origin, sex familial status, physical or mental disability, marital status age, or HIV infection. To improve community quality of life and economic vitality, the PHA will implement measures to provide for deconcentration of poverty and income-mixing. The PHA will bring higher income tenants into lower income developments and lower income tenants into higher income developments. Additionally, the PHA will support measures to raise the income of households that currently reside in federal public housing. All measures and incentives that are undertaken to accomplish deconcentration and income-mixing will be uniformly applied.

The PHA's admission policy is designed to provide for deconcentration of poverty and income-mixing by bringing higher income tenants into lower income projects and lower income tenants into higher income projects.

Gross annual income is used for income limits at admission and for income-mixing purposes.

Skipping of a family on the waiting list specifically to reach another family with a lower or higher income is not to be considered an adverse action to the family. Such skipping will be uniformly applied until the target threshold is met.

The PHA will gather data and analyze, at least annually, the tenant characteristics of its public housing stock, including information regarding tenant incomes, to assist in the PHA 's deconcentration efforts.

The PHA will use the gathered tenant incomes information in its assessment of its public housing developments to determine the appropriate designation to be assigned to the project for the purpose of assisting the PHA in its deconcentration goals.

If the PHA's annual review of tenant incomes indicates that there has been a significant change in the tenant income characteristics of a particular project, the PHA will evaluate the changes to determine whether, based on the PHA methodology of choice, the project needs to be redesignated as a higher or lower income project or whether the PHA has met the deconcentration goals and the project needs no particular designation.

Qeconcentratinn and Incomc-Mixin& Goals

Admission policies related to the deconcentration efforts of the PHA do not impose specific quotas. Therefore, the PHA will not set specific quotas, but will strive to achieve deconcentration and income-mixing in its developments.

HPHA Annual Plan FY 2017 § 6.0(b) I: De-concentration Policy

111

Hawaii Public Housing Authority Annual Plan Fiscal Year 2017-2018

Attachment A

The PHA's income-mixing goal is a long-range goal and may not be achieved in the first year of implementation. The PHA will use its annual analysis of its public housing stock and tenant incomes to provide benchmarks for the PHA.

The PHA will add additional sites to its deconcentration goals each year until it has met its desired goal for all of its developments.

Project Designation Methodology

The PHA will determine and compare tenant incomes at the developments listed in this Chapter.

Upon analyzing its findings the PHA will apply the policies, measures and incentives listed in this Chapter to bring higher income families into lower income developments and lower income families into higher income developments.

The PHA's goal is to have eligible families having higher incomes occupy dwelling units in projects predominantly occupied by eligible families having lower incomes, and eligible families having lower incomes occupy dwelling units in projects predominantly occupied by eligible families having higher incomes.

Families having lower incomes include very low- and extremely low-income families.

When selecting applicant families and assigning transfers for a designated project the PHA will determine whether the selection of the family will contribute to the PHA's deconcentration goals.

The PHA will not select families for a particular project if the selection will have a negative effect on the PHA's deconcentration goals. However, if there are insufficient families on the waiting list or transfer list, under no circumstances will a unit remain vacant longer than necessary.

Step 4: Explain how covered developments having average incomes outside the Established Income Range may explain or justify the income profile for these developments as being consistent with and furthering two sets of goals: the goals of deconcentration of poverty and income mixing as specified by the statute (bringing higher income tenants into lower income developments and vice versa); and the local goals and strategies contained in the PHA Annual Plan.

Development 34: This development contains many elderly residents on fixed incomes which do not increase with inflation.

Development 35: This development contains many elderly residents on fixed incomes which do not increase with inflation.

Step S: PHA Incentives for Higher Income Families

The PHA will offer certain incentives to higher income families willing to move into lower income projects. The PHA will not take any adverse action against any higher income family declining an offer by the PHA to move into a lower income project.

In addition to maintaining its public housing stock in a manner that is safe, clean, well landscaped and attractive, the PHA may offer the following incentives for higher income families moving into lower income projects:

(A) Incentives designed to encourage families with incomes below the Established Income Range to accept units in developments with incomes above the Established Income Range. or vice versa, including rent incentives, affirmative marketing plans. or added amenities;

(B)) Target investment and capital improvements toward developments with an average income below the Established Income Range to encourage applicant families whose income is above the Established Income Range to accept units in those developments;

(C) Establish a preference for admission of working families in developmentsbelow the Established Income Range;

(D) Skip a family on the waiting list to reach another family in an effort to further the goals of the PHA's deconcentration policy;

(E) Provide such other strategies as permitted by statute and determined by the PHA in consultation with the residents and the community, through the PHA Annual Plan process, to be responsive to the local context and the PHA 's strategic objectives.

(Exhibit A

METHOD FOR CALCULATING INCOME LIMTS

Income limits are calculated using a set of formula relationships. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates median family income based on the most recent census data estimates updated with a combination of local Bureau of Labor statistics data and census divisional data. Separate median family income estimates are calculated for all Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas and Metropolitan Counties.

Very Low-Income Limits:

Income limits are calculated using a set of formula relationships. The very-low income limits are based on 50 percent of the estimated area median income for a four-person family as determined by HUD. Adjustments are then made if the 50 percent number is outside of formula constraints.

More specifically, the very low-income is calculated and set as the tentative four-person family income limit.

If it is lower, the four-person income limit is increased to the amount at which 35 percent of it equals 85 per cent of the annualized two�bedroom Section 8 Fair Market Rent of FMR (this adjusts income limits upward for areas where rental housing costs are unusually high in relation to the median income.

If it is higher, the four-person income limit is reduced to the amount at which 30 per cent of its equals 120 per cent of the two-bedroom FMR (this adjusts income limits downward for areas where rental housing costs are unusually low in relation to the median income);

To minimize program management problems, income limits are being held at the most recent fiscal year levels in areas where the FMR reductions would have resulted

179

C&C of

in lower income limits; and

In no instance are income limits less than if based on the State non-metropolitan median family income level. Family Size Adjustments: Family size adjustments are made to provide higher income limits for larger families and lower income limits for smaller families. The factors used are as follows:

Number of Persons in Family and Percentage Adjustments 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

70% 80% 90% Base 108% 116% 124% 132%

Income limits for families with more than eight persons are not included in the printed lists because of space limitations. For each person in excess of eight, 8 percent of the four-person base should be

added to the eight-person income limit. (For example, the nine-person limit equals 140 percent 0132 + 80 of the relevant four-person income limit.) All income limits are rounded to the nearest $50 to reduce administrative burden.

Income limits for Admissions and Continued Occupancy

Based upon the foregoing methodology, the following table sets forth the calculated income limits for admissio�s and continued occupancy in the Rent Supplement Program. These income limits are adjusted periodically whenever the HUD estimates of area median income are revised and are, therefore, subject to

change.

a. Ms. Desiree Kihano, Palolo Valley Homes resident

Ms. Kihano agreed with the proposed changes for the Rent Supplement Program. More specifically, she strongly supported the amendment to increase the minimum of $25 and a maximum of $500 for rent supplement program. She commented that the $250 subsidy was insufficient and it was "about time" that the amount was increased. Ms. Kihano also strongly supported the change which requires that that an applicant must have their primary place of residence in Hawaii. She commented that the whole purpose of the program is to assist people who are living in this state.

Ms. Kihano supported the change to the rules (in 17-2033-13) which requires that to be eligible to continue participation in the program, the tenant and tenant's household shall not engage in or threaten abusive or violent behavior.

I. FACTS

A. The 29th Hawaii State Legislature convened for the first year of thebiennium on January 18, 2017.

B. As a State government agency, the Hawaii Public Housing Authority and itsBoard are subject to the Sunshine Law of Chapter 92, Hawaii RevisedStatutes which, in part, requires timely notice and hearing by the Board ofadopted legislative testimony or position prior to any legislative hearing.

C. As of February 9th, 2017, most bills of interest to the Legislature have beenheard in their first referred committee. March 3rd , 2017 is "First Decking,"when all bills under consideration for crossover to the other chamber mustbe submitted to the clerk of the originating chamber in their final form atleast 48 hours prior to third reading.

D. The Hawaii Public Housing Authority has submitted testimony for 14 SenateBills and 13 House Bills thus far (see Attachment - Bills of Interest as of2/6/17).

E. Hearing notices, bill drafts and testimonies can be found at the Legislativewebsite at this address: http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/

11. DISCUSSION

A. The Hawaii Public Housing Authority's (HPHA) legislative proposals areidentified and developed during August and September in preparation fordiscussion with the Governor's Policy Office in October throughDecember.

B. The Executive Director has delegated authority to track legislativemeasures and provide testimony in accordance with the positions andpolicy directives previously adopted by the Board.

For Information - February 16, 2017 Page 1 187

C. At this time, Management has identified the following items related to theHPHA as proposed to the 2017 Legislature by the Governor:

1. SB 966, RELATING TO PUBLIC LANDS: To expressly providethat certain areas of the Hawaii Public Housing Authority housingprojects are closed to the public. To amend criminal trespass in thesecond degree to permit the prosecution of any unauthorized entryinto any closed HPHA project property or any violation of a writtenprohibition to enter such property.

2.

Justification: This measure will assist the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to prosecute trespassers based on an unlawful act, unauthorized entry, or violation of a written prohibition to enter such property. The measure clarifies what property is closed to members of the public in a housing project. It defines what constitutes a "reasonable warning or request" to leave a housing project.

SB 967, RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY: To exempt Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) titled lands from the definition of "public lands."

Justification: The HPHA is authorized to acquire, own and hold real property, and therefore, its titled lands to not fall under the catchall jurisdiction of state "public lands" under the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Unless exempted under HRS §171-3, DLBR would manage, control, or administer HPHA lands which conflicts with HPHA's powers under Chapter 356D, HRS and with the federal Annual Contributions Contract with the United States of America. The HPHA was previously exempted under HRS §171-3 as its predecessor agency the Housing and Community Development Corporation of Hawaii (HCDCH). After the HCDCH bifurcated into two separate agencies, the exemption for the HPHA . was inadvertently left out of the list of exempted agencies.

S.B. NO. 968

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO SERVICES PERFORMED BY CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAil:

SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to seek authorization of

permanent civil service position counts and appropriate out of the general

and non-general funds of the State of Hawaii for these positions to support

state agency operations.

SECTION 2. In 1997, the Hawaii supreme court ruled in Konno y. Hawaii

County that Hawaii county violated civil service laws and merit principles

when it hired private contractors to perform landfill operations work.

The court ruled that state civil service laws allowed only civil service

employees to perform work historically and customarily done by civil

service employees.

In response to Konno, Act 90 was enacted in 2001. Act 90, part II,

allowed the State of Hawaii to contract for services historically and

customarily performed by civil service employees if equivalent or better

services could be provided at lower cost. However, Act 90, part II, was

repealed on June 30, 2007.

After Act 90 was repealed, the United Public Workers filed class

grievances as well as lawsuits in circuit court arguing that the State of

Hawaii and the counties should cease the practice of contracting for

services historically and customarily performed by civil service

employees. Over time, the counties reached settlements with the United

Public Workers, leaving only the claims against the State of Hawaii.

217

Through court-ordered mediation, an agreement was reached between the

United Public Workers and the State of Hawaii executive branch relating to

services historically and customarily performed by civil service employees

as it relates to the United Public Workers. This agreement reflected the

State's commitment to comply with the Hawaii supreme court's ruling in

Konno, while concurrently recognizing the State's duty to provide services

to the public.

Without a sufficient number of civil service positions and employees

to perform services historically and customarily performed by United Public

Workers-type employees, state agencies have had to resort to contracting

for these services. In order to address this situation and enable state

agencies to comply with the Konno ruling, it is estimated that the State

will need an additional 599 permanent positions and approximately

$105,091,764 (for positions and associated equipment) in general and non

general funds in order to provide necessary services to the public through

civil service employees rather than through contractors.

SECTION 3. In an effort to facilitate the provision of housing

opportunities for homeless individuals and others in need, and in order to

fulfill operational needs with regard to work historically and customarily

performed by civil service personnel, a total of 34 permanent positions are

requested for the Hawaii public housing authority for multi-skilled worker

teams, as follows:

( 1) Three (3) general construction and maintenance supervisor I positions;

(2) Three (3) building maintenance worker II positions;

(3) Five (5) building maintenance worker I positions;

(4) Four (4) building maintenance helper positions;

(5) Three (3) general laborer I positions;

218

(6) Three (3) carpenter I positions;

(7) Four (4) plumber I positions;

(8) Two (2) plumber helper positions;

(9) Five (5) electrician I positions;

(10) One ( 1) painter I position; and

( 11) One (I) welder I position.

Only permanent position counts are being requested; funding is not

required.

THE SENATE lWENTY-NINTH LEGISLATURE, 2017 STATE OF HAWAII

S.B. NO. 1142

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO HOUSING.


PART I

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Hawaii's housing market suffers

from a persistent shortage of housing, particularly housing that is

affordable to Hawaii's workforce and lower income groups. Approximately

thirty-six per cent of Hawaii's households are cost-burdened, meaning that

these households pay more than thirty per cent of their income on housing

costs. About half of these households pay more than fifty per cent of

their income on housing. The Hawai'i Housing Planning Study 2016 reports

that approximately 24,551 housing units are estimated to be needed

statewide from 2016 to 2020. Of this total, approximately 13,500 units, or

fifty-five per cent, are needed for households earning eighty per cent and

below the area median income (AMI). Typically, these are rental units.

The purpose of this Act is to increase the availability of and access

to housing stock in the State, particularly for the State's vulnerable

populations.

PART II

SECTION 2. The rental housing revolving fund, established under

section 201H-202, Hawaii Revised Statutes, provides loans or grants for the

development, pre-development, construction, acquisition, preservation, and

substantial rehabilitation of rental housing units. The revolving fund

also provides equity gap low-interest loans or grants to qualified owners

and developers constructing affordable housing units.

232

The purpose of this part is to create needed housing by authorizing

the issuance of general obligation bonds to finance various capital

improvement projects of the Hawaii housing finance and development

corporation to address the State's housing shortage.

SECTION 3. The director of finance is authorized to issue general

obligation bonds in the sum of $50,000,000 or so much thereof as may be

necessary and the same sum or so much thereof as may be necessary is

appropriated for fiscal year 2017-2018 for deposit into the rental housing

revolving fund for the purposes specified in section 201H-202, Hawaii

Revised Statutes.

The sum appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii housing finance

and development corporation for the purposes of this part.

PART III

SECTION 4. The legislature finds that one of the least recognized

segments of Hawaii's homeless population are unaccompanied runaways and

homeless youth. Between 2000 and 2010, thirty per cent of all juvenile

arrests in Hawaii were runaway arrests, which averaged 4,493 arrests per

year. Services and shelter space are critical to meet the needs of this

population, which is the most vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.

The legislature further finds that a collaboration between the Hawaii

housing finance and development corporation and the judiciary to redevelop

an underutilized parcel of state land in the urban core of Honolulu could

construct both a juvenile services and shelter center and a one hundred

eighty unit affordable family housing project.

The purpose of this part is to provide funding to expand and preserve

rental housing opportunities and construct a juvenile services and shelter

center for runaway and homeless youths.

appropriated for fiscal year 2017-2018 for the purpose of constructing a

mixed-use affordable rental housing and multi-use juvenile services and

shelter center at 902 Alder Street, Honolulu, Oahu, TMK (1) 2-3-012-019.


and development corporation for the purposes of this part.

PART IV

SECTION 6. The legislature finds that the Hawaii public housing

authority is the sole statewide public housing agency of the State. The

Hawaii public housing authority's portfolio of eighty-five properties

comprises 6,195 units that serve over 6,100 families, or more than 20,000

individuals.

The Hawaii public housing authority's aging housing stock continues to

have an extensive capital need that is underfunded by the United States

Department of Housing and Urban Development. Additional funding is needed

to modernize, repair, and maintain many of the State's public housing

units.

The purpose of this part is to improve the quality of existing public

housing in the State by authorizing the issuance of general obligation

bonds and appropriating funds for this purpose.

improvements, and renovations.

SECTION 9. The appropriations for the capital improvement projects

S.B. NO. 1146

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEES.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAU:

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that a shortage of affordable

housing, for sale or rent, exists in Hawaii, and that the high cost of

construction could be a deterrent to private development of affordable

housing units. The legislature further finds that school impact fees can

significantly raise the costs of new housing development projects. For

example, in 2016, the department of education estimated that it would need

a school impact fee of �9,374 per new unit constructed in the proposed

school impact district from Kalihi to Ala Moana to help cover land and

construction costs for new or expanded schools in the area. The

legislature additionally finds that implementing this fee would increase

the overall costs for construction of housing, possibly further hindering

development of affordable housing units.

The legislature also finds that as the city and county of Honolulu

constructs a rail transit system, increasing affordable housing along the

rail line benefits those individuals and families with lower incomes,

including those who are unable to purchase their own vehicles, by providing

convenient access to public transportation. The legislature further finds

that exempting affordable housing units constructed within one mile of

Honolulu's rail transit system from school impact fee requirements will

promote the development of affordable housing in Hawaii.

The purpose of this Act is to exempt new housing units that are

reserved for persons or families with incomes up to eighty per cent of the

236

area median income from school impact fee requirements.

SECTION 2. Section 302A-1603, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by

amending subsection (b) to read as follows:

"(b) The following shall be exempt from this section:

(1) Any fonn of housing permanently excluding school-aged childrent with the necessary covenants or

declarations of restrictions recorded on the property;

(2) Any fonn of housing that is or will be paying the transient accommodations tax under chapter 2370;

ill Any fonn of housioi units reserved for persons or families with incomes up to eighty per cent of the area

median income located within a one mj(e radius of the Honolulu rail transit line:

[(3}] W All nonresidential development; and

[�] ill Any development with an executed education contribution agreement or other like document with

the department for the contribution of school sites or payment of fees for school land or school construction."

S.B. NO. 121s

A BILL FOR AN ACT



SECTION 1. The legislature finds that Hawaii has the highest per

capita rate of homelessness of any state in the nation. Hawaii also has

the highest rate of chronically unsheltered homeless per capita of any

state. An estimated 7,921 people are living on the streets and in shelters

in Hawaii. Addressing homelessness requires a multi-faceted approach using

interventions that are targeted to the particular characteristics of the

population being served. Three programs critically necessary to address

homelessness in Hawaii are housing first, rapid re-housing, and the state

rent supplement for homeless families and individuals.

Housing first programs are proven to be effective in addressing

homelessness for chronically homeless individuals, including those who have

an addiction or mental illness, or both. The principles of housing first

programs include:

(I) Moving chronically homeless individuals into housing directly from the streets and shelters without aprecondition of accepting or complying with treatment;

(2) Providing robust support services for program participants that are predicated on assertive engagementrather than coercion;

(3) Granting chronically homeless individuals priority as program participants in housing first programs;

( 4) Embracing a harm-reduction approach to addictions rather than mandating abstinence while supportingeach program participant's commitment to recovery; and

(5) Providing program participants with leases and tenant protections as provided by law.

239

While housing first programs are relatively costly, they are cost

effective. Providing housing and services under the housing first program

is less costly than providing the services necessary for unhoused,

chronically homeless persons, such as emergency services.

The rapid re-housing and state rent supplement programs are proven to

be effective in securing and maintaining housing for working individuals,

senior or disabled individuals, and families who are homeless. A

significant segment of homeless people have a stable source of income and

need only modest financial help and some "housing stabilization" services

rather than full-scale subsidies and intensive, ongoing case management.

More than a quarter of Hawaii households fall into homelessness simply

because they are short of money to pay their rent; these households

otherwise have no other underlying issues. For these individuals and

families, small subsidies allow them to more rapidly secure housing and

move out of shelters into permanent housing.

Rapid re-housing provides struggling households with a financial 11shot

in the arm"; that is, often a one-time payment to cover delinquent rent,

utility payments, or first month's rent and security deposit. Short term

intervention is often all many families need to avoid homelessness, or to

quickly bounce back from becoming homeless.

The state rent supplement program provides a "shallow", but sustained,

subsidy to struggling households. Unlike the "deep" subsidy Housing Choice

Voucher program, better known as the Section 8 program, which helps

families at the lowest ends of the income scale by bridging a wide

affordability gap between income and housing costs, the state rent

supplement program helps households who are closer to financial self

sufficiency but still have a narrow affordability gap to fill. The state

rent supplement program provides an ongoing subsidy, enabling homeless

households or those at imminent risk of homelessness to close the

affordability gap, maintain housing, and achieve self-sufficiency.

240

Households would pay a minimum of thirty percent of their income for rent,

and the rental subsidy would be capped at $500 per month.

Because individual subsidies under the rapid re-housing and state rent

supplement programs are relatively low, the programs can resolve

homelessness for a large number of individuals and families relative to the

total cost of the subsidy program.

The purpose of this Act is to appropriate funds to support the State's

housing first programs in assisting Hawaii's chronically homeless who are

often the most vulnerable, most visible, and most difficult to serve. This

Act also appropriates funds to support rapid re-housing and the state rent

supplement program.

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO PUBLIC AGENCY MEETINGS.


SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the requirement of boards to

keep written minutes of all meetings should be updated to reflect

technological advancements. It is currently difficult for boards to find

and retain staff with the stenographic experience necessary to keep written

minutes as fewer individuals have those qualifications and those who do

obtain such qualifications quickly seek out much higher paying positions in

the court system. It is also now possible to keep minutes through analog

and digital recording means, and to make minutes publicly available in

those forms. The legislature finds that updating this requirement will

only serve to enhance the public's ability to access the minutes of board

meetings.

The purpose of this Act is to allow board minutes to be kept by

written or recorded means.

SECTION 2. Section 92-9, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by

amending subsection (a) to read as follows:

"(a) The board shall keep [writteR] minutes of all meetings[-;-]..t

provided that the minutes may be written or recorded by analog or digital

means, Unless otherwise required by law, neither a full transcript nor a

recording of the meeting is required, but the [�1ritteR] minutes shall give

a true reflection of the matters discussed at the meeting and the views of

the participants. The minutes shall include, but need not be limited to:

( 1) The date, time and place of the meeting;

247

Parents of veterans shall not use the veteran status of

their adult child as a basis for preference; and

(3) Subject to any limitations set by federal law or regulation, the

authority shall not select as a tenant, and may terminate the

tenancy of, any person if the person or any household member owns

or acquires a home within the State.

Cb) The authority shall not allow remaining members of tenant

households to continue to occupy a dwelling unit in a state low-income

housing project upon the death or removal from the unit of the last

original head or co-head of the household; provided that where the original

head or co-head of the household is survived by a minor. the authority may

allow a legal guardian to assume responsibility for the unit to care for

any minor who was suhseguently added to the household by birth. adoption,

or court order and who was properly reported to the authority, until the

youngest minor added to the household reaches the age of twenty-one, or

reaches the age of twenty-three if the youngest minor is a full-time

student at a business school, technical school, college. community college.

or university. No legal guardian shall be added to the household to care

for the minor or minors unless the legal guardian is also eligible for

participation in the state low-income public housing program; provided

further that any legal guardian added to the household shall not remain in

the unit after the youngest minor has reached the age of twenty-one, or has

reached the age of twenty-three if the youngest minor is a full-time

student at a business school, technical school, college, community college,

or university,

THE SENATE lWENTY-NINTH LEGISLATURE; 2017

STATE OF HAWAll S.B. NO.

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO DISCRIMINATION.


127

SECTION 1. The legislature finds that low-income individuals have an

extremely difficult time finding affordable housing rentals in Hawaii.

This situation is more frustrating when 11 no section 8 accepted" housing

vacancy advertisements prevent low-income individuals from being considered

as renters. Existing Hawaii laws do not prohibit discrimination based on

lawful source of income. However, a number of other states, including

California and Oregon, have prohibited this type of income discrimination.

Renters who participate in government assistance programs, such as the

federal Housing Choice Voucher program, also known as section 8 housing,

should have an equal opportunity to find housing.

The legislature further finds that landlords should not be

unreasonably burdened when renting under the Housing Choice Voucher program

and should be afforded certain exceptions for untimely apartment

reinspections and untimely transmission of rent moneys by the government.

The purpose of this Act is to amend the landlord-tenant code to

prohibit discrimination based on lawful source of income in rental

transactions, including advertisements for available rental units.

SECTION 2. Chapter 521, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by adding

a new part to be appropriately designated and to read as follows:

S.B. NO. 591

A BILL FOR AN ACT



SECTION 1. The legislature finds that the cost of housing and the

lack of affordable rentals and properties for sale are two of the most

pressing issues facing the State, and that the lack of housing inventory

has driven up the cost of rental properties and homes for sale. In

November 2016, the median price of a home in Hawaii was $584,400. On Oahu,

where the shortage of affordable housing is most acute, the median sale

price for single-family houses, as reported by the Honolulu Board of

REALTORS, was $730,000.

The legislature further finds that a shortage of affordable housing is

one of the primary causes of homelessness in Hawaii. Rates of homelessness

have been increasing in the State in recent years, and events such as the

development of the homeless encampment in Kakaako in 2015 and 2016

highlight the need to provide more housing for middle class and low income

residents.

The legislature additionally finds that a consensus exists among many

individuals, working groups, and task forces focused on addressing the

issue of homelessness that more units must be constructed to meet the

growing demand for affordable housing. The legislature also finds that

government land is available for housing, but infrastructure is

insufficient in many areas, including for transit-oriented development. It

is projected that meeting long-term housing goals will require 64,000 new

housing units by 2025, and of that total, 22,200 households of all income

258

levels will require rental units. Act 127, Session Laws of Hawaii 2016,

was enacted to address the need for 64,700 new housing units with a goal to

build 22,247 residential rental units by 2026. The legislature further

finds that funding is a key component of meeting these construction goals.

The purpose of this Act is to:

(I) Authorize the director of finance to issue general obligation bonds to construct affordable rental units andhomes; and

(2) Allow moneys from the conveyance tax and the county surcharge on state tax to be used to repay thebonds.

SECTION 2. Section 247-7, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read

as follows:

"§247-7 Disposition of taxes. All taxes collected under this chapter

shall be paid into the state treasury to the credit of the general fund of

the State, to be used and expended for the purposes for which the general

fund was created and exists by law; provided that of the taxes collected

each fiscal year:

(I) Ten per cent or $6,800,000, whichever is less, shall be paid into the land conservation fund establishedpursuant to section l 73A-5; [am!]

{2) Fifty per cent or $38,000,000, whichever is less, shall be paid into the rental housing revolving fund established by section 201H-202[�]arul

ill Funds may be used to repay bonds issued pursuant to Act , Session Laws of Hawaii 2017,11

SECTION 3. Section 248-2.6, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by

amending the title and subsection (a) to read as follows:

"[f]§248-2.6[f] County surcharge on state tax; disposition of

proceeds. (a) If adopted by county ordinance, all county surcharges on

state tax collected by the director of taxation shall be paid into the

state treasury quarterly, within ten working days after collection, and

shall be placed by the director of finance in special accounts. Out of the

revenues generated by county surcharges on state tax paid into each

respective state treasury special account, the director of finance shall

259

deduct ten per cent of the gross proceeds of a respective county's

surcharge on state tax to [Eeiffld3HFSe]�

A BILL FOR AN ACT

RELATING TO SCHOOL IMPACT FEES.


SECTION 1. The legislature finds that as conununities expand and

develop, school impact fees are assessed to offset the impact of new homes

and families on local schools. While these assessments are in place to

accommodate the increase in new families and school enrollments that often

accompany development, the fees can be detrimental to certain types of

community projects, which is partly why exemptions exist for projects like

commercial projects, industrial projects, senior housing projects,

replacement homes, and projects to enlarge existing homes. However, there

is no exemption from school impact fees for the efforts of nonprofit

organizations that provide housing to low-income individuals. Allowing

these types of projects to be exempt from school impact fees may encourage

developers to provide more low-income housing, increasing the overall

affordable housing supply for Hawaii residents.

The purpose of this Act is to provide an exemption from school impact

fees for housing developments constructed by nonprofit housing

organizations in which the units are rented or sold to persons or families

earning between thirty and eighty per cent of the area median income.

SECTION 2. Section 302A-1603, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by


"(b) The following shall be exempt from this section:

264

(I) Any form of housing permanently excluding school-aged children, wjth the necessary covenants or

declarations of restrictions recorded on the property;

(2} Any form of housing that is or will be paying the transient accommodations tax under chapter 237D;

(3) All nonresidential development; [flfttl]

(4) Any development with an executed education contribution agreement or other like document with the

department for the contribution of school sites or payment of fees for school land or school construction[�]�

ill Any housinK development constructed by a nonprofit housine organization in which the units are leased

or sold to persons or families with incomes between thirty and eighty per cent of the area median income as

determined by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development,"
