Followup workshops scheduled on 999 year homestead leases

Informational workshops for 999 year homestead lessees are planned this month to inform lessees and their families about the Legislature's bill that provides a genealogy arbitration program to determine the rightful lease holders. In the interest of designing a financing program that would enable lessees to purchase their leases or fund construction and improvements, a survey of household financial information will be conducted at the workshops. Attendees will also hear general information about the 999 year lease program and the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. Workshops are scheduled for 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. on June 1 at the Kapa'a Library Conference Room, and June 29 at OHA's Maui office. For more information, eaU OHA housing counselor Ixona Kalima at 594-1902.
