February 26, 2018 <br />Page 2 <br />1 am confident this concept can work, because we have already successfully <br />piloted the village concept at Camp Kikaha in Kona. HB 2014, HD 1 would help us <br />move further. We currently have a 35 -acre site that will soon go through master <br />planning and the environmental assessment process for a homeless village and <br />affordable housing, similar to what is envisioned under HB 2014, HD 1. <br />We realize that funding for all counties and the State is tight and limited, and HB <br />2014, HD 1 is expensive. If a silot project is needed as an initial course of action, the <br />bill could be pared back in your Committee. However, first we need to keep the bill alive <br />in Finance. <br />Please help us make this vision of ending homelessness in Hawaii a reality by <br />approving some version of HB 2014, HD 1. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />arry Kim <br />Mayor, County of Hawaii <br />County of Hawaii is an Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer. <br />
