RE:   H.B. No. 430

 

 

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2011

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 430 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR THE HOMELESS PROGRAMS OFFICE,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to bolster the ability of the Homeless Programs Office (HPO) of the Department of Human Services (DHS) to meet the needs of the State's growing homeless population by appropriating funds to restore positions for the HPO.

 

     The Hawaii Catholic Conference, Catholic Charities of Hawaii, and Oahu's Coalition of Homeless Providers testified in support of this bill.  DHS and a concerned individual supported the intent of this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Housing that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 430 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Housing,
