Support Affordable Housing In Hawaii NOW!
Living paycheck to paycheck? Working two jobs and still unable to pay the rent? For some 48% of Hawaii's people, this is our plight. As rent prices go through the roof, not just the houseless, but students, seniors, single-parent families, and even middle-income families are finding it difficult to cover rent and housing costs.
For decades, our lawmakers in Hawai'i have failed to act on this crisis. Now we need the legislature and governor to act to support Senate Bill 2561, SD1 and House Bill 1700, SD1 to fund our state's goal of building 22,500 affordable units. Your kokua is essential to getting this done!

Why is this important?
Hawaii's affordable housing shortage has reached crisis proportions. We are number 1 for homelessness per capita in the nation. Our college-educated children are priced out of the market. Politics as usual helped cause the current crisis. This is the time to tell our lawmakers that NOW is the time for them to act.
