House committee recommends passage of Kamaʻaina Homes Program

The Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice submitted testimony in strong support of the bill.

“To make this program most impactful, it would be wise that the preservation of current housing stock is prioritized for counties which have significant infrastructure limitations preventing new construction as well as low wages in comparison to housing costs,” said Arjuna Heim, director of the center’s housing policy.
