AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Consumer Protection: Hawaiʻi residents are being warned about fraudulent mailers that misuse the Hawaiʻi Green Infrastructure Authority’s name to push fake home warranty and mortgage protection scams, urging people not to call the numbers or share personal or financial info. Local Fraud Trends: Kapolei ranked among the top Hawaii cities for scam reports in August, with Honolulu leading statewide on BBB Scam Tracker. Auto Lending Crackdown: Acting AG Cori Mills and other states announced a $694 million multistate settlement with Credit Acceptance Corporation over predatory auto loans, including cash and debt relief and requirements to strengthen consumer protections. Housing Costs & Assistance: A University of Hawaiʻi Economic Research Organization study says federal Section 8 spending in Hawaiʻi jumped to $170 million in 2024 (70% higher than 2003 after inflation) as rents rose, while voucher coverage grew far more slowly. Community & Business: Bizia Surf & Coffee Bar in Wahiawa is turning albizia—an invasive tree that costs millions to remove—into building materials and products, creating a local economy around a cleanup problem. Education & Workforce: Maui College Fair set for Sept. 30 at Queen Kaʻahumanu Center will bring 60+ colleges to help students and families plan after high school. Safety: Police opened a felony investigation after a 12-year-old allegedly threatened a teen with a firearm on Fort Weaver Road; no injuries were reported.
