A possible solution to decrease homeless in Hawaii
1 like192 views
Hawaii has the highest rate of homelessness per capita in the US, with over 7,900 homeless people counted in 2016. The document discusses the "housing first" approach developed in New York City to address homelessness by moving long-term homeless individuals directly into subsidized housing and connecting them with support services. Research has found that the majority of formerly homeless people who receive housing through this approach remain stably housed and experience improved health. The document proposes using state land in Hawaii to build mid-to-long term housing for homeless families along with vegetable gardens and fruit trees to help residents gain employment and pay rent.
