Honolulu’s accessory dwelling unit (ADU) ordinance limits structures to 800 square feet, but the state could allow for bigger ones “whatever we can do to get more people in housing,” says state homeless coordinator John Mizuno.
The names of three people have been submitted to Gov. Josh Green to replace veteran state Rep. John Mizuno, including Mizuno’s wife and office manager, Joje “May” Mizuno.
State lawmakers this legislative session will push for an increase in the number of smaller independent homes known as accessory dwelling units, specifically on Maui to house wildfire survivors and statewide to reduce homelessness.
