What's Being Discussed

Honoring a departing director: The board will consider a resolution recognizing Director Roy Katsuda for his service.
Settling a housing discrimination case: The board will review a proposed settlement agreement in a federal fair housing complaint (Mulu v. HPHA).
Financing public housing redevelopment: The board will discuss allowing HPHA's credit standing to be used to support tax-exempt bonds for the Ka Lei Momi Initiative, a redevelopment effort at public housing properties.
Updating eviction rules: The board will consider significant changes to HPHA's eviction procedures, including clarifying which lease violations are considered non-curable — meaning tenants cannot fix the problem to avoid eviction. These include threats to health or safety, felony convictions, property damage exceeding $3,000, allowing trespassed individuals on the property, and providing false information to HPHA.
