Issue Position

Affordable Housing: As Hawaii's cost of living rises with no end in sight, families are forced to make increasingly difficult decisions. Home ownership is out of reach for most working youth as alternatives lead them out of the neighborhoods. Our community needs bold solutions and new ideas in housing to ensure Kalihi and Hawai'i thrive.

Development: Many residents did not agree with the rail project. However, as development progresses, the state must ensure that residents are provided opportunities for dignified housing, and that development favors residents over corporations.

Homelessness: We must provide and fund better and more consistent intervention for our houseless neighbors. We now know that sweeps and endless criminal hearings don't work and don't make our neighborhoods any safer.
