State-subsidized loan program for first-time home buyers

Create a "Path to Home Ownership" for first-time home buyers and essential workers with a new state-subsidized loan program, including financial education and assistance to help navigate the home buying process.

Use vacant state lands to build affordable homes and rentals with federal, state, and private partnerships.

Housing must be considered a human right

Housing must be considered a human right. That is how my administration will approach affordable housing and homelessness. We will work to end unsheltered homelessness by building 12 kauhale statewide and regional ohana zones for anyone who has been condemned to living on the street. These solutions, supported by health care professionals, social workers and community partners, will demonstrate to the world that the spirit of aloha is the way forward on housing. [Note: "Kauhale" means "village." "Ohana" refers to extended family.]

The art of governing is showing up to work ready to take on the challenges of the day. As I've traveled the state and talked with everyday people, they share remarkably similar hopes--a Hawaii that's affordable, where housing is attainable and wages are sufficient to cover the cost of living. T
