AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Hawaiʻi Housing & Homeownership: Honolulu City Council passed Bill 20 creating a Homebuyers’ Loan Assistance Revolving Fund to help middle-income “gap” buyers with down payments and closing costs, aiming to keep kamaʻāina families from being priced out. State Tax Policy: Gov. Josh Green signed Act 24, raising Hawaiʻi’s top income tax rate to 13% starting in 2027 for higher earners, part of the push often dubbed a “millionaire tax.” Public Safety & Tourism: New laws signed by Green expand human trafficking prevention training for the lodging industry and extend a domestic-violence pilot program, targeting gaps lawmakers say delay accountability for offenders. Native Hawaiian Land Access: DHHL awarded 200 residential lots in Pana‘ewa (East Hawaiʻi), with 200 more planned for August—first lease presentations in over 20 years. Disaster Recovery & Resilience: Hawaiʻi County launched a Kona Low Business Recovery Grant Program with $475,000 total funding and an Aug. 31 deadline for eligible storm-impacted businesses. Environment & Infrastructure: After back-to-back Kona lows, coral restoration groups on Oʻahu are reattaching hundreds of “corals of opportunity” and preparing for the next threat from El Niño. Local Community Policing: The Hawaiʻi Police Department’s Kūpuna Watch returns to Puna with a July 13 meeting focused on elder safety, including financial and internet scams.
