Requesting The Department Of Hawaiian Home Lands To Identify Resources Needed To Execute A Plan To Repair Homes For Safe Habitation.

Impact

The proposed actions within HCR125 include conducting a systematic identification of unoccupied DHHL properties to confirm their occupancy, lease status, and the reasons for their current conditions. Additionally, the resolution calls for assisting lessees to assess needed repairs that would make their residences safe and habitable. By potentially reviving these unoccupied properties, the resolution aims to utilize existing housing resources more effectively to address the needs of current and new lessees on the DHHL waitlist.

Summary

HCR125 is a resolution that requests the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) to identify resources necessary for implementing a plan to repair homes deemed unsafe for habitation. The resolution highlights issues related to unoccupied properties under the DHHL's jurisdiction, which may remain vacant due to various reasons such as pending lease transfers or the inability of current lessees to maintain their homes. The resolution emphasizes the importance of addressing these unoccupied properties to enhance community safety and habitation standards.

Contention

There are no significant points of contention highlighted within the discussions surrounding HCR125. However, the implications of differing viewpoints regarding resource allocation and the management of funding for home repairs could be a potential area of debate among stakeholders. Furthermore, the necessity of follow-up actions to facilitate lease transfers and conduct hearings indicates a structured approach to resolving tenant issues, although this could also pose challenges in terms of bureaucratic delays.
