HOMESTEAD APPLICATIONS<br />
BRANCH<br />
The Applications Branch is responsible for ensuring that applicants meet the blood quantum requirement<br />
of the 1920 Hawaiian Homes Commission Act, as amended. The branch is also charged<br />
with the <strong>ma</strong>intenance of applicant records and includes all transactions involving applications such<br />
as processing new applications, transfer requests, reinstatements, rescissions and successorships to<br />
application rights.<br />
As of June 30, 2010, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) waiting lists reflect a<br />
total of 41,087 applications for all residential, agricultural, and pastoral homesteads, which represents<br />
an increase of 1,003 applications on file as compared to the previous fiscal year. The amount of<br />
applications and the number of applicants differ because the rules allow applicants to hold two applications,<br />
one for a residential lease and the other for either an agricultural lease or a pastoral lease.<br />
During fiscal year 2010, the Application Branch processed 2,004 applicant transactions (which<br />
includes new applicants and applicant transfers) requiring Hawaiian Homes Commission (HHC)<br />
action.<br />
