HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES	H.C.R. NO.	73
TWENTY-SEVENTH LEGISLATURE, 2013
STATE OF HAWAII

HOUSE CONCURRENT

RESOLUTION

 

 

Requesting nonprofit organizations that provide outreach services to homeless individuals to evaluate officer and employee compensation.

 

 

 

     WHEREAS, there were 6,246 homeless people in Hawaii in 2012; and

 

     WHEREAS, many nonprofit organizations help the homeless through outreach services and housing; and

 

     WHEREAS, due to limited resources, government grants and subsidies made to nonprofits should help those in need of services, instead of providing for the salaries of nonprofit officers and employees; and

 

     WHEREAS, high salaries for officers and employees of nonprofit organizations improperly divert resources from the purpose and mission of the organizations; now, therefore,

 

     BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the Twenty-seventh Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2013, the Senate concurring, that all nonprofit organizations that receive a state grant or subsidy to provide outreach services or the administration of emergency, transitional, or permanent housing to homeless individuals are requested to evaluate the compensation of their organization's officers and employees and to reduce the compensation amounts to less than seventy-five per cent of the salary of the Director of Human Services; and

 

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this Concurrent Resolution be transmitted to the Director of Human Services, the Director of Health, and the Director of Finance, who in turn is requested to transmit copies to the nonprofit organizations that received a state grant or subsidy during the previous biennium to provide outreach services or the administration of emergency, transitional, or permanent housing to homeless individuals.
