HHFDC Ward survey 2025 FAQ
The State of Hawai‘i recognizes the critical importance of accessible housing for its dedicated workforce. To support the implementation of Act 166 (2025), which mandates the creation of a Government Employee Housing Program, HHFDC is conducting this comprehensive survey. We invite all State employees to share their perspectives on current housing needs and preferences, ensuring that future development initiatives are data-driven, community-focused, and tailored to meet the needs of our public servants.
1. What is this survey about?
