Our community supports more affordable homes, but this requires building infrastructure—roads, sewers and utilities—which can make developments too costly. To address this, PRP supports Tax Increment Financing (TIF), which allows public agencies to invest in infrastructure today by using future property tax gains and Community Facilities Districts (CFDs). Such a tool can help reduce upfront costs for developers—costs that would otherwise be passed on to Hawai‘i families. We advocate for policies that connect infrastructure investment to long-term community benefit: more housing, less financial burden, and a stronger Hawai‘i.
