New Bill to Boost Affordable Transit Housing | Honolulu News

A new bill, the Transit Oriented Development Act, aims to tackle Hawaii’s worsening housing crisis by boosting affordable housing near public transit. Co-sponsored by Rep. Ed Case and Delegate James Moylan, it increases tax credits for developers—especially in high-cost areas like Honolulu—making it easier to build homes where people work and live. With projects like the Kuwili Skyline Station targeting over 2,500 affordable units, the bill could unlock millions in funding and help families stay in their communities. It also calls for a national study on cost-of-living and transit access, ensuring housing solutions are smart, equitable, and sustainable.
