Status of Resolution to Establish Task Force on Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities

On April 16, 2005, I reported on Hearings on the resolution to establish a Task Force on Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities. The committees passed out amended version of the resolution and was also approved by the House Finance Committee in the same form. The Senate later agreed to the House amendments. Therefore, the resolution is adopted.

SCR 79 HD1 This Resolution would establish a task force that would identify issues and problems that inhibit the establishment of naturally occurring retirement communities and provide potential solutions on how condominium and housing associations and other real property organizations may be able to most expediently and cost-effectively resolve these issues and problems. The task force would include members from he Elderly Affairs Division of the City and County of Honolulu, The Assisted Living Options Hawaii, Catholic Charities Elderly Services, The Hawaii Council of Associations of Resident Managers; The Community Association Institute; The Hawaii Council of Association of Apartment Owners;The Hawaii Long Term Care Association;The Healthcare Association of Hawaii;Hawaii Independent Condominium and Cooperative Owners; and Association of American Retired Persons.
