In 2018, the HDR-H alternatives included Kuaokalā Ridge (KR) adjacent to the U.S. Air Force Ka‘ena Point Satellite Tracking Station on state-owned land, and two alternative sites at U.S. Army Kahuku Training Area (KTA). In 2020, the MDA removed the KR and KTA Site 2 alternatives from further consideration for HDR-H, and added a new alternative at the U.S. Navy Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) on the island of Kaua‘i. As a result of these changes in the proposed alternatives, the project no longer proposes to use State lands and thus HRS Chapter 343 is no longer triggered. The reopened scoping period for the federal EIS runs from February 26, 2021 to April 12, 2021.

  • Audit Report
    U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General AUDIT REPORT FOLLOWUP OF RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING THE HAWAIIAN HOMES COMMISSION, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY REPORT NO. 00-I-500 JUNE 2000 U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Followup of Recommendations Concerning the Hawaiian Homes Commission, Office of the Secretary Report No. 00-I-500 June 2000 BACKGROUND The Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1920 (42 Stat. 108) was enacted in July 192 1 “to rehabilitate native Hawaiians on lands given the status of Hawaiian home lands.” The Act was administered by the Hawaii territorial government until the Hawaiian Islands became a state in 1959. At that time, the State of Hawaii assumed responsibility for the administration of the Home Lands Program through the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL), which was headed by the Hawaiian Homes Commission, a policy-making board. Additional State and Federal legislation related to Hawaiian home lands was enacted in 1995. As of June 30,1998, the DHHL owned about 197,673 acres of land on the islands of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii and had issued 5,189 residential leases; 1,057 agricultural leases; 30 1 pastoral leases; 118 general leases; and 94 revocable permits, which included permits for agricultural, pastoral, and commercial purposes. For the fiscal year ended May 3 1, 1999, the DHHL had total revenues of $126.4 million and expenditures of $55.7 million. In addition, the DHHL reported outstanding direct loans of $48.9 million and guaranteed loans of $127.8 million. OBJECTIVE The objective of our audit was to determine whether the U.S.

  • Public Assistance Programs
    During the past 5 years, the Department of Housing and Urban Development has expanded homeownership, increased access to affordable housing, strengthened communities through economic development, fought housing discrimination, and tackled chronic homelessness. HUD has implemented innovative solutions to address our nation’s housing needs and has achieved great results. Despite its many accomplishments, HUD recognizes that challenges remain to be addressed. Despite achieving the highest homeownership rate in American history, minorities are still less likely than non-Hispanic whites to own their homes. Opening doors to homeownership is a core aspect of HUD’s mission. The most significant barriers to homeownership are downpayment and closing costs. To overcome this barrier, HUD’s American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) provides low- and moderate-income individuals with funds needed to purchase their first home. In this respect, since its inception in Fiscal Year 2004, ADDI has already helped thousands of Americans, nearly half of whom were minority families. While increasing homeownership is a top priority, HUD knows it is not a viable option for everyone. Therefore, providing decent affordable rental housing is a central part of HUD’s mission. HUD’s largest program, the Housing Choice Voucher program, promotes affordable rental housing for families and individuals. The program currently provides rental assistance to more than four million households through public and assisted housing programs. The mission of HUD also includes strengthening communities. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is HUD’s most important community development program and it is one of the most flexible programs provided to localities by the federal government.

  • HHCA Reference Guide September 2018
    HHCA Reference Guide September 2018 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Reference Guide to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, 1920 as amended U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR REFERENCE GUIDE TO THE HAWAIIAN HOMES COMMISSION ACT, 1920 AS AMENDED SEPTEMBER 2018 EDITION September 2018 U.S. Department of the Interior ii PREFACE A Reference Guide to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act On July 9, 1921, the United States Congress enacted the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. This Act set aside 200,000 acres of land in trust and established trust funds for the use of the indigenous people of Hawai‘i. The Congress intended that this Hawaiian Home Lands Trust would enable its beneficiaries to return to their land to improve and perpetuate their self-sufficiency and cultural preservation. Since the inception of this Trust nearly a century ago, the Congress has enacted a large number of amendments to the original act and enabled the State of Hawai‘i to provide additional amendments dealing with the day-to-day administration of the Trust. This Reference Guide to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act is a Department of the Interior initiative to make the full history of the Federal and State amendments to the Act more readily available in a single, cross-referenced document. While the Reference Guide was initially created to address the administrative needs of the Department of the Interior, it is our hope that it also will be of assistance to others whose programs and responsibilities seek to serve the beneficiaries of the Hawaiian Home Lands Trust. Sincerely, Susan Combs Senior Advisor to the Secretary Exercising the Authority of the Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget Office of Native Hawaiian Relations September 2018 iii ABOUT THIS REFERENCE GUIDE Section 206 of the Hawaiian Home Lands Recovery Act (HHLRA), 109 Stat.
