Facilitators: Kaaina Hull and Gary Mackler Land and Infrastructure Required: Securing developable land with adequate infrastructure remain the costliest and timeliest factors of developing affordable housing. What lands should the County focus our development efforts on? What infrastructure issue should the County focus efforts on resolving first? Participants will decide and formulate a strategy to resolving the infrastructure issue chosen. Facilitator: Michael Dahilig The State of Homelessness in Kaua'i: Governor David Ige issued a supplementary emergency proclamation for homelessness aimed to accelerate the completion of housing projects and expand shelter capacity and access to services. What are the opportunities on Kaua'i while under the emergency proclamation? Facilitators: Nalani Brun and Crystal Caday-Bargayo Rental and Program Opportunities. The Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) program provides 670 rental vouchers that generate approximately $6 million annually to private landlords. The HCV program is gearing up to open its waitlist and would like to expend 750 rental vouchers in 2019. However, the challenge has been the lack of rental inventory available. Statistics show that 30%, or 1 in 3 households, fail to lease up in a timely manner and thus risk losing their rental voucher. Where are the rental units and what can we do to support our HCV participants to secure rental units? Participants will emerge with strategies to encourage landlords to participate in the HCV program. Facilitators: Jennifer Toguchi and Steven Franco
