“Homelessness should not be accepted as normal in our society,” Governor Green said. “We are seeing that Hawaii’s communities are opening their eyes to those suffering around them and are coming together to support the kauhale effort. Housing is healthcare, and this is truly the path forward for our state.”

Both new kauhale will provide welcoming, safe, and stable housing for the homeless — including restroom facilities, shower trailers, a laundry facility, daily meals, and 24/7 security.

Each kauhale functions like a small village — with residents depending on their own community for support, rather than solely on professional services.

Through projects like Ka Malu Ko’olau and Ho‘okahi Leo, Governor Green has a goal of reducing homelessness statewide by 50% in his first term in office.

Mahalo,
