The Land Management Branch (LMB) is responsible
for the management of all lands unencumbered
by homestead use. LMB also provides
support to DHHL’s Land Development
Division (LDD) by issuing permits and licenses,
such as Right of Entry and License Easements
to the various state and county agencies which
require access and use of Hawaiian home lands
for infrastructure and utilities purposes.
The Income Property Branch (IPB) is specifically
tasked with generating revenue from the
development and long term leasing of DHHL
assets not slated for residential use. The income
generated and the services provided by IPB are
integral components of DHHL’s goals toward
self-sufficiency and community building.
The Technical Services Branch (TSB) manages
the land inventory of Hawaiian home lands
prior to homestead disposition. Its responsibilities
include database management of all
non-homestead assets. TSB also oversees the
appraisal process for the rental, acquisition,
exchange, licensing and general leasing of
DHHL’s non-homestead properties. Third
party appraisers are hired for the valuation of
LMD assets to ensure that the trust is fairly
compensated for its dispositions.
In conjunction with the State of Hawaii,
Department of the Attorney General, LMD
continues to actively pursue illegal activities
such as trespassing, squatting and dumping,
off-road driving, hunting without a permit and
rock and cinder removal on DHHL’s unencumbered
lands.
Facing the State’s challenging economic times
and the forecasted negative growth outlook for
the next two fiscal years, LMD has made it a
high priority to find creative and effective ways
to maintain its current revenue stream.
LMD has reviewed its portfolio and identified
the potentially high value properties which are
readily available for marketing. These parcels
have been prioritized to seek the most feasible
