New laws aim to tackle Hawaii’s housing crisis

Gov. Josh Green on Tuesday signed six bills into law intended to address the state’s lack of affordable housing for Hawaii’s working-class families. The centerpiece legislation, Senate Bill 3202, requires Hawaii’s four counties to adopt or amend ordinances by Dec. 31, 2026, to allow for at least two accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, on all urban residential-zoned lots.
