A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO THE HAWAII PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The purpose of this Act is to repeal the authority of the Hawaii public housing authority to sell rental units.
More specifically, this Act repeals the state housing sales program. Under the program, the authority may sell units in its projects to tenants under certain conditions.
The legislature finds that state public housing units should not be sold, but should remain under authority ownership for rental to low-income tenants, which is a major immediate public need in Hawaii today. The legislature further finds that the repeal of the housing sales program may eliminate any diversion of the authority's attention from its core mission, which is providing affordable rental housing to low-income tenants.
SECTION 2. Chapter 356D, part IX, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is repealed.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2016.
