We reviewed 70 funds and accounts administered by the Department of Health (DOH) and its administratively attached agency, the Hawai‘i Health Systems Corporation (HHSC). We found 7 special funds, 1 revolving fund, 3 trust funds, and 2 trust accounts did not meet criteria. We recommended 7 special funds be repealed or closed. We also recommended that 1 revolving fund, 2 trust accounts, and 1 trust fund be reclassified.

We reviewed 41 funds and accounts administered by the Department of Human Services (DHS) and its administratively attached agency, the Hawai‘i Public Housing Authority (HPHA) – specifically, 15 special funds, 8 revolving funds, 7 trust funds, and 11 trust accounts.

We also recommended that the trust account be reclassified to a trust fund and one revolving fund be reclassified to a special fund. Lastly, we recommended that one revolving fund be repealed because it is not financially self-sustaining.
