THIRTY-THIRD LEGISLATURE, 2025

STATE OF HAWAII

A BILL FOR AN ACT

Relating
to restoring Access to disaster-affected areas
.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:

����
SECTION 1.
�
The
legislature finds that the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation
is the fee simple owner of the Villages of Laialii in Lahaina on the island of
Maui.
�
The legislature further finds that
since the 2023 Maui wildfire, three rental housing projects have been developed
on the southern makai side of Leialii:
�
Kalaiola,
Kilohana, and Kukuia.
�
Kalaiola consists of
four hundred fifty units of temporary housing, Kilohana consists of one hundred
sixty-nine units of temporary housing, and Kukuia consists of two hundred units
of permanent housing.
�
The legislature anticipates
that in the future, the Hawaii housing finance and development corporation will
develop permanent housing on the Kilohana site, and the department of Hawaiian
home lands will develop permanent housing on the Kalaiola site.

����
The legislature also finds that the three
projects are connected on their makai sides by a former cane haul road that
runs from north to south on land owned by the Hawaii housing finance and
development corporation.
�
At its northern
end, the former cane haul road connects to Laialii parkway and intersects with
Waihikuli road and Fleming road as it heads south.
�
The legislature notes that before reaching
Keawe street, the former cane haul road crosses lands owned by Keawe Street
Investment LLC (TMK 4-5-011-011-0000) and West Maui Venture Group (por. of TMK
4-5-010-034-0000).

����
Accordingly, the purpose of this Act is to obtain
the necessary portions of the former cane haul road to build a new access road
from Keawe street to the Kilohana and Kalaiola sites.

����
SECTION 2.
�

To develop permanent housing on the Kilohana and Kalaiola sites, the
Hawaii housing finance and development corporation shall institute proceedings for
the condemnation of the necessary portions of the Keawe Street Investment, LLC,
and West Maui Venture Group parcels, pursuant to chapter 101, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, to build a new access road from Keawe street to the Kilohana and
Kalaiola sites, complying with the requirements necessary to dedicate the road
to the county of Maui.

����
SECTION
3
.
�
There is appropriated out of the
general revenues of the State of Hawaii the sum of $500,000 or so much thereof
as may be necessary for fiscal year 2025-2026 to be deposited into the dwelling
unit revolving fund.

����
SECTION
4
.
�
There is appropriated out of the dwelling
unit revolving fund the sum of $500,000 or so much thereof as may be necessary
for fiscal year 2025-2026 for appraisals and other preparations to institute
the condemnation proceedings pursuant to section 2 of this Act.

����
The
sum appropriated shall be expended by the Hawaii housing finance and
development corporation for the purposes of this Act.

����
SECTION 5.
�

This Act shall take effect on July 1, 2025.
