HCHA April 9, 2019 <br /> concerted effort to get people into those homes and we touched on that a little <br /> bit, when we talked previously and I just wanted to say that again...that I'd <br /> really like to see the families that need homes be able to get in, whether that's <br /> public-private, whether that's County...l'm...l'm not sure where to head with <br /> that but I just would really like to follow up on that and make sure we are getting <br /> people into homes that need homes, even if their underprivileged or they have <br /> access...and they have jobs...they just can't seem to get to that next level. <br /> Getting them a home, gives them a next step and that's where I'd like to see <br /> some of this money go. Habitat for Humanity, I liked a lot...1 like what they are <br /> doing. By...by helping people get into that home and I...I just I'd really like to <br /> see if we can go there. <br /> Gyotoku: We've dealt Habitat for Humanity and we've built some homes in, <br /> especially in the Paradise Park area. But I wanted to mention that we recently <br /> signed a FEMA Grant and Duane Hosaka here is in charge of that where they <br /> would do case management for the people with the lava flow who were <br /> affected by the lava flow, trying to get them whatever needs that they have, <br /> doing assessment and housing is one of them, trying to get...its 1 .7 million dollars. <br /> They going to be working with a non-profit agency to try to work with the <br /> families that were effected and try to do case management and provide <br /> service to try to get they into homes or improve their situation. <br /> Kanealii-Kleinfelder: That is...that's...that is good and I think beyond lava <br /> eruption we still have...we had before the eruption and we still have now and its <br /> still an issue so whatever we can do to help people get in, past the eruption, <br /> now, in the future, and continue on and the more money that we can get for <br /> that, from whatever source it comes from, if that's a goal for us...because it <br /> just...its just helping the island as a whole. Your helping people get into a house <br /> become secure, get financially stable, and helping their kids own that house <br /> and helping...it just, it's a...as a County if we can do that in any shape or form, <br /> were creating stability in our own economy, in our own...in our own people here <br /> so I'd like to see us move towards that. <br /> Gyotoku: Okay. <br /> Kanealii-Kleinfelder: Thank you. <br /> Eoff: Okay. Thank you. Any other comments before I go back to Mr. Richards? <br /> Okay, thank you. Go ahead. <br /> Richards: Thank you Chair. Thanks Neil, I think this was longer meeting but you <br /> can see the interest from the Council for the housing. Real quick I meant to ask <br /> you previously the Ahe Group that you and I were at that meeting in Kohala. <br /> What's the update on that? Is that going forward? <br /> Page 20 of 22 <br />
