Opinion Letter Summary

Opinion Letter No. 94-04
April 25, 1994
Identities of Section 8 Housing Recipients Confidential

Public disclosure of information concerning whether individuals, who have been identified by their
residential address, receive Section 8 housing assistance would constitute a "clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy" under the UIPA. Further, the OIP concluded that section 92F-12(b)(3),
Hawaii Revised Statutes, which requires the disclosure of government records "pursuant to a showing
of compelling circumstances affecting the health or safety of any individual," did not require public
disclosure of the information.
