Providing Homes to Native Hawaiians

Providing Homes to Native Hawaiians

The Department of Hawaiian Homelands has been criticized for years over its failure to provide homes to Native Hawaiians. Thousands of people have waited decades for a shot at owning a home on their ancestral lands. Some have died waiting. State lawmakers are poised to pass historic legislation that would provide $600 million to help solve this problem.

Panelists include: Tyler Iokepa Gomes, Department of Hawaiian Homelands, Deputy to the Chairman; Sen. Maile Shimabukuro (D), Kalaeloa, Nānākuli, Maiʻli, Waiʻanae, Mākaha; Blossom Feiteira, Maui Island and Hawaiian Homelands Beneficiary, Former Association of Hawaiian Homelands President; and Tom Yamachika, Tax Foundation of Hawaii.
