Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Housing, to which was referred H.B. No. 753 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO HOMELESS PROGRAMS,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this bill is to provide a safe place to sleep for the homeless by requiring the Department of Human Services (DHS), in consultation with the counties and private homeless assistance programs, to develop temporary nighttime parking lots to be used by persons who would otherwise sleep in their vehicles on private or public property. 

 

     Catholic Charities Hawaii supported the intent of this bill.  DHS offered comments.

 

     Your Committee has amended this bill by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     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. 753, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 753, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.

 

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