REQUESTING AN UPDATE OF THE STATE HOUSING FUNCTIONAL PLAN.
WHEREAS, the Hawaii State Planning Act, codified as chapter
226, Hawaii Revised Statutes, outlines a long-range guide for
Hawaii's future and establishes a statewide planning system; and
WHEREAS, section 226-55, Hawaii Revised Statutes, requires the state agency primarily responsible for a given functional area to prepare a functional plan for that area; and
WHEREAS, functional plans identify priority issues in the functional area and establish objectives, policies, and implementing actions to address those priority issues; and
WHEREAS, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation prepared the State Housing Functional Plan in 1989, which set out a comprehensive plan for the development, preservation, and management of housing in the State; and
WHEREAS, at the request of the Legislature, the Housing Finance and Development Corporation updated the State Housing Functional Plan in 1990 to address the housing needs for all income levels, including the homeless; and
WHEREAS, the State's housing requirements have changed since the State Housing Functional Plan was last updated, including the need for housing in relation to transit-oriented development; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the Twenty-eighth Legislature of the State of Hawaii, Regular Session of 2015, the House of Representatives concurring, that the Governor, in coordination with the Office of Planning and the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation, is requested to update the State Housing Functional Plan; and
