This week, Governor Josh Green released a new policy report titled “Results for our People” — detailing how the Green administration is handling important issues facing the state of Hawaii and making real progress on some of our biggest challenges.

The report builds on the priorities Governor Green outlined during his 2025 State of the State Address to the Legislature.

“Our people deserve an affordable and resilient Hawaii, and it is my job to turn these plans into action,” Governor Green said. “These efforts are not just about solving today’s challenges, but about creating lasting opportunities for our children and grandchildren. With the support of our partners and the strength of our people, we are laying the foundation for a more sustainable and hopeful future.”

Part One of the report details how the Green administration is addressing some of Hawaii’s biggest challenges, including: * Protecting Our Environment: This year, we took bold action to address biosecurity threats, combat climate change, and safeguard critical resources like water.
* Helping Maui Recover: The Green administration is committed to Maui’s recovery from the August 2023 wildfires in partnership with federal, local, and nonprofit partners.
* Public Safety: We are taking decisive action to remove illegal guns and dangerous fireworks, as well as to address agricultural crime to keep communities safe.
* Improving Healthcare: The administration launched HELP and enacted Act 47 to exempt certain medical services from the general excise tax.

Part Two deals with specific actions the Green administration is taking to ensure that Hawaii and our people are successful now and in the future, including: * Confronting the Affordability Crisis: Through the Green Affordability Plan and Act 46, we are easing the cost of living by adjusting tax credits, deductions, and brackets, while protecting vital services despite federal budget cuts.
* Addressing the Housing Crisis: We are accelerating affordable housing by cutting red tape, eliminating costly fees, building on public lands, and investing in infrastructure.
* Reducing the Waitlist for Hawaiian Home Lands: Funding from Act 279 is enabling projects that provide thousands of homes for Native Hawaiian families.
* Housing is Healthcare: Initiatives like the kauhale model address both immediate shelter needs and the root causes of homelessness.
* Hawaii’s Resilient Economy: Hawaii's economy continues to grow and has record low unemployment, as well as strong tourism and construction sectors.
