Homesteaders are usually unable to
secure loans from traditional lending
institutions because they lack the
usudl collateral required for such
Loans. The reason for this is that
they cannot mortgage the lands they
lease. Consequently, the DHHL
attempts to fill in the gap oy
offering low interest loans. For
residential lots, loans are made for
two purposes: to construct new homes,
and to replace old and dilapidated
homes. Since 1975, the State of
Hawaii has allotted $14 million for
loans tor these types. 20/
The DHHI. also assists homesteaders
in arranging other financing. It
provides guarantees to assist homesteaders
in securing loans from other
lending sources such as the Farmer's
Home Administration and the (State)
Hawaii Housing Authority. The
Farmer'8 Home Administration, through
its Section 502 Program, had provided
loans in excess of $6 million over
several years prior to 1981. 21/
\t present, the Department has
approximately 1,700 outstanding direct
loan.; totalling about $28 million. It
has also guaranteed approximately 650
loans totalling over $12 million to
date. Table 57 summarizes the
financing for houses constructed with
or without DHHL support during
1980-81.
Bicausa they are lessees and not
owners, homesteaders also have
difficulty in obtaining conventional
loans for home repair and improvements.
However, DHHL also responds to
this teed. Table 58 shows the DHHL
home repairs program funding for
19B0-1981. DHHL financed 20 home
repairs and improvements (16 percent
of the total) at a cost of $153,000
(26 percent). Lessees personally
financed 106 home repairs and
improvements (84 percent) at a cost of
$445,000 (74 percent) .
The 230 homes that the DHHL will
construct on Oahu during i982 will be
financed by loans from the State of
Hawau !$7.7 million for 190 loans)
and the Farmer's Home Administration
($1.6 million for 40 loans). Interest
rates for these loans will range from
8 and 3/4 to 13 percent. 22/
Federal Housing Programs
"Native Hawaiians," as defined in
Title III of the Public Law (96-565)
setting up the Native Hawaiians Study
Commission, are eligible to benefit
from the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) programs
in the same fashion and no differently
from any other U.S. citizen. However,
there are impediments to the use of
HUD programs for "Native Hawaiians" on
Hawaiian Home Lands.
The HUD San Francisco Regional
Office of Program Planning and
Evaluation wrote a working paper that
discusses these impediments. In
summary, it states that:
Up to the present time, the
Hawaiian Homes Commission has not
participated in the various HUD
housing and community development
programs, nor have individual
native Hawaiians been able to
qualify for insured loans under
HUD's single-family insured
programs if their potential home
was to be located on Hawaiian Home
Land.
According to HUD's Honolulu
Area Office, there are a number of
problems which seem to inhibit
HUD's program delivery to native
Hawaiians seeking to establish
residential homesteads on the
Hawaiian Home Lands. These
problems result from HUD program
and statutory regulations which
are in apparent conflict with the
Hawaiian Homes Commission Act
legislation. They may be
categorized as follows:
• Civil Rights Act and HUD Equal
Opportunity Regulations, which
conflict with Hawaiian Homes
