"In Hawaiʻi, almost 30 percent of the homeless population is comprised of Native Hawaiians—a statistic that is far too high in the most prosperous country in the world."
NAHASDA was first established in 1996, consolidating separate assistance programs provided by the Department of Housing and Urban Development into a single block grant program. In 2000, NAHASDA was amended to add Title VIII – Housing Assistance for Native Hawaiians. The amendment adds similar programs for Native Hawaiians who reside on Hawaiian Home Lands to the NAHASDA legislation.
In Hawaiʻi, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands is the sole recipient of the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant as provided for by the law. DHHL administers 203,000 acres of trust land; 99 percent of those lands are located in Hawai‘i’s Second Congressional District: from the southernmost tip of Hawai‘i Island to Kauaʻi and Niʻihau; it includes every Hawaiian Island, but excludes urban Honolulu.

DHHL is working on a plan to manage its land in South Point, its houselots at Discovery Harbour and other land that could be used for homesteads above Punalu‘u and also in Wai‘ōhinu. DHHL is also planning to improve water delivery to homesteaders as proposed for many years by the late Tommy Kaniho, a native Hawaiian rancher. Read the DHHL Ka‘ū Regional Plan.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said she supports the effort, following her own decision to quit the position of Vice President of the Democratic National Committee during last year's campaign.
On Saturday, the commission voted to recommend that Democratic Party super delegates be cut by 400 - reducing their number of unpledged delegates by 60 percent. Super delegates are those delegates to the Democratic National Convention who are not required to vote for the candidates selected by the community they represent. Not only will the majority of them be eliminated, those remaining would be required to tie their votes to election results. Another suggestion is calling for automatic voter registration and same-day voter registration. The commission also wants caucus states to report raw votes.
Gabbard has called for open primaries and caucuses, same-day registration, and elimination of all super delegates. She also called for "DNC leadership that is transparent, fair, and accountable."
She supported Bernie Sander for President and issued a statement this week saying, "The grassroots energy and organizing that fueled Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign started a movement, bringing the American people together around ending our costly failed regime change wars overseas, implementing a $15 minimum wage and Medicare and College for All, protecting our water and environment, and investing in clean, sustainable energy.
"The American people are also in agreement, across party lines and ideologies, that the backroom dealing and pay-to-play politics of our time are simply unacceptable. We must eliminate the undemocratic system of super delegates and commit to open or same-day registration for primaries and caucuses to put our democracy back in the hands of the people."

ENROLLMENT FOR THE AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE PLAN ends on Friday, Dec. 15. See healthcare.gov for 2018 plans and prices before renewing or signing up for the first time, says the federal government website.Under federal law, anyone who doesn’t have coverage through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Plan, or other qualifying coverage must pay a fee. Also called Obamacare, the coverage under the Affordable Health Act is designed to reduce the number of people without health insurance.
The website, operated by the Department of Health and Human Services, offers easy calculators to see what kind of coverage in Hawai‘i is available at what cost and also whether Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare would be the appropriate coverage.

THE CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES that have destroyed more than 800 structures and caused more than 200,000 residents to evacuate their homes have prompted the Hawai‘i congressional delegation to push the climate change agenda. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tweeted: "Thinking of everyone affected by the #CaliforniaWildfires. We must move #OffFossilFuels with the OFF Act before climate change becomes any worse." She retweeted the experience of one of the OFF Act supporters who fled from his California home:
"8 p.m. - After a long Ventura City Council meeting, where I was urging members to vote to join an important renewable energy program, I left to find that the winter super moon was eerily red. Friends told me a brush fire had started a few hours earlier in Santa Paula, a rural city 20 miles away.
"8:15 p.m. - As I returned home, my wife and I became concerned that the smoke might affect our three-month-old daughter, but were still unaware of the imminent danger that lurked.
"9 p.m. - After a long day, I headed to our local taco shop for a meal. Suddenly, the wind picked up to almost 40 miles per hour and it began to rain ash and smell like fire everywhere. I huddled in the tiny taco shop with five other patrons as the Santa Ana winds overturned tablecloths and umbrellas outside.
"9:30 p.m. - My wife and I decided to head to a hotel to protect the baby from the smoke. Just then, the power went out. We quickly learned that nearby hotels in Carpinteria and Santa Barbara had also lost power.
"9:50 p.m. - We got a hotel room in Solvang, about 70 miles north. As we gathered a few mementos and a day’s worth of clothing, we wondered if, as new parents, we were being overly cautious. Nearby friends were headed to bed. But we decided play it safe and go.
"We could see flames destroying historical landmarks and parks, including the one where we hosted our baby shower just a few months earlier. Flames headed toward homes. Just then it hit us: Would we have a home to return to? Would our neighbors escape unharmed? I realized then that I had everything that was truly important to me in the car at that moment."
"10:45 p.m. - As we were trying pack the car in the midst of heavy smoke and ash, a neighbor came by to check on us. He pointed towards the hillside which had suddenly ignited into a roaring fire coming towards our neighborhood. We left immediately, as the dark streets filled with stunned and frantic neighbors. I drove toward the freeway, as my wife began calling friends to alert them to the imminent danger. There were still no official alerts as we entered the freeway.

Thomas Romales Rebecchi, who works with Food & Water Watch, wrote that he envisions that longer, more aggressive fire seasons, "fueled by climate change, will only worsen as we continue to burn fossil fuels. This is the new normal. This is how I experienced it firsthand:

While their house survived, Rebecchi wrote that he will "redouble efforts to support local and federal bills to transition the country to clean, renewable energy. The OFF Fossil Fuel Act, introduced by Hawai‘i Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, is at once visionary and more urgent than ever. It would halt all new oil and gas projects and set the country on a path to 100 percent renewable energy by 2035. Some claim those goals are unrealistic. I know that they are achievable —and desperately necessary—if we wish to prevent the loss of countless more homes and lives." See more at foodandwaterwatch.org.
