Requesting The Governor's Coordinator On Homelessness To Conduct A Study On The Cost Of Programs And Services Necessary To End Chronic Homelessness By 2030.
Impact
The resolution highlights key statistical data on homelessness, noting that as of the 2022 Point-In-Time Count, Hawaii had 5,973 individuals experiencing homelessness, with a notable concentration on Oahu. The findings indicate that while there was a slight overall decrease in the homeless population, the number of unsheltered individuals rose, revealing complexities in addressing this crisis. By requesting a detailed study, HCR45 aims to identify the financial implications of various solutions, including shelter space, transitional housing, and mental health services, crucial for formulating effective interventions.
Summary
HCR45 is a House Concurrent Resolution introduced in the 32nd Legislature of Hawaii in 2023, aimed at addressing the issue of chronic homelessness in the state. The resolution requests the Governor's Coordinator on Homelessness to conduct a comprehensive study on the costs associated with programs and services necessary to eliminate chronic homelessness by the year 2030. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of this issue in Hawaii, where the homeless population is a significant concern for public policy and humanitarian efforts.
Contention
The resolution acknowledges the disparities within the homeless population, particularly noting that Indigenous Hawaiian and Pacific Islander individuals are disproportionately represented among those experiencing homelessness. The intention behind HCR45 is to consult with a range of governmental and non-governmental agencies to gather insights and recommendations that could guide future legislative actions and budget allocations. As it stands, the resolution itself does not have a voting history provided, but it signifies a collaborative effort to tackle a complex social issue facing the state.
