NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Pursuant to 24 CFR 903.17 and the MTW Operations Notice, the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA), Department of Human Services, hereby provides notice that it will hold a public hearing on (1) the Annual Public Housing Agency (PHA) Plan for Fiscal Year 2026 and (2) the Moving to Work (MTW) Supplement for Fiscal Year 2026.

Background: The HPHA has prepared an Annual PHA Plan as required by the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998. The PHA Plan describes how federally-funded programs administered by the HPHA will be operated and managed during the applicable fiscal year. The HPHA also uses the PHA Plan to inform the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), its residents, and the public of the specific strategies it will employ to address the housing needs of low-income families within its jurisdiction.

The HPHA will include the MTW Supplement for Fiscal Year 2026 as an attachment to the Annual PHA Plan for Fiscal Year 2026. The MTW Supplement provides information on all future and ongoing MTW-related policies, waivers, and activities. Submittal of the MTW Supplement is a requirement for all expansion PHAs participating in the MTW Demonstration Program. For more information on the MTW Demonstration Program, please see the MTW Operations Notice, published in the Federal Register as FR-5994-N-05.

Public Review: The drafts of the (1) Annual PHA Plan for Fiscal Year 2026 and (2) the MTW Supplement for Fiscal Year 2026 are available for public viewing at the HPHA School Street Administrative Campus and the site management offices on weekdays between 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
