STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3076

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                  

 

RE:    S.C.R. No. 130

 

 

 

Honorable Shan S. Tsutsui

President of the Senate

Twenty-Sixth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Human Services, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 130 entitled:

 

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING EFFORTS BY NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS THAT ASSIST IN FINDING OPPORTUNITIES AND SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS HOMELESSNESS IN HAWAII,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to support efforts of non-governmental organizations that assist in finding opportunities and solutions to address homelessness in Hawaii.

 

     Your Committee received testimony in support of this measure from Hawaii Youth Services Network and United Self Help.

 

     Your Committee finds homelessness is a multi-faceted issue that requires a holistic approach to addressing and eliminating homelessness in Hawaii.  Many non-governmental organizations provide street outreach, emergency shelter, and transitional living services to individuals and families who are homeless.  This measure expresses the Legislature's support of the efforts of these non-governmental organizations as they find opportunities and solutions to address homelessness in the State.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Human Services that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 130 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Human Services,
