42 U.S.C. § 3057g

Current through P.L. 118-107 (published on www.congress.gov on 11/21/2024)

Section 3057g - Findings

The Congress finds the older Native Hawaiians-

(1) have a life expectancy 10 years less than any other ethnic group in the State of Hawaii;

(2) rank lowest on 9 of 11 standard health indicies ¹ for all ethnic groups in Hawaii;

(3) are often unaware of social services and do not know how to go about seeking such assistance; and

(4) live in poverty at a rate of 34 percent.

¹ So in original. Probably should be "indices".
