Bill: Own A Home? No Public Housing For You!

By /
That’s what House Bill 536 calls for. Specifically:

Authorizes the Hawaii Public Housing Authority to disqualify any applicant or tenant from state low-income housing if the applicant, tenant, or a household member owns or acquires a home within the State.

HB 536 has a hearing Thursday (March 14 — today) in Senate Human Services.
