Aloha, I am writing in support of Bill 179. This bill will go a long way to helping to reduce the housing crisis that has
overtaken Hawaii.
The County needs to take a leadership stand on working to serve the community with an affordable housing option.
The Carpenters Union protest against the concept of manufactured homes is creating a gap for finding solutions to our
for a toe
housing crisis. Contractors and the union construction companies do not build for consumers just looking
hold into homeownership. No one is building homes under 200k due to it not being cost-effective. Factory-built
housing is a viable and affordable option for this segment of our population that needs housing they can afford.
Factory-built housing will not be a solution for everyone, but when people can get into the lower rung of
homeownership, they have hope to reach for the next rung.
Please help us find a solution for our community by passing Bill 179.
Sincerely and with Aloha,
Mark Gross
