Djou Pushes for Native Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunities

Statement

Date: July 16, 2010
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Housing and Property

Congressman Charles K. Djou (HI-01) has signed onto H.R. 709, the "Hawaiian Homeownership Opportunity Act of 2009, a bill previously authored by former-Rep. Neil Abercrombie. Congressman Djou released the following statement:

"This is an important bill that has stalled in Congress for far too long. This legislation will re-authorize Title VIII of the Native American Housing and Self-Determination Act (NAHASDA), which has been waiting for reauthorization since 2005. This legislation will expand opportunities for Native Hawaiians, particularly those of limited means, to access affordable housing. This is a good idea and will benefit not just Native Hawaiians, but to Hawaii as a whole. I look forward to working with my colleagues in both parties to ensure that this legislation becomes law."
