Posting this excerpt from the blessing of Ke Kauhale ‘o Luhia which expands capacity at the Waimanalo Emergency Shelter by 20 rooms with share bathroom and kitchen. Tenants will be integrated into the existing services provided to the rest of the facility. I have been trying to get this done for 5 years - not sure if adding the Homeless budget on the house side to my committee kuleana was the magic trick…. It was a low cost project since all the infrastructure was in place and there was a big, empty parking lot. Now singles in the larger units can switch over and free up space for families.
