GOV. GREEN OPENS PAEPAE HOU KAUHALE WITH BLESSING

Press Release

“It is special to see this particular kauhale, because it’s a little different. It’s smack dab in a community, which says ʻyes we welcome you, we welcome your capacity to heal,’ with families not so far away. Because after all, in Hawaiʻi, we are at the most, one degree of separation away from one another and if we don’t acknowledge that, we’re really fooling ourselves. There is constantly someone in our own family circle that has great need. We should lead the country and show them that it can be done. The people of Kalihi are compassionate and we will support our people that are in need of supportive housing with a focus on healing, self-sufficiency and securing sustainable employment. This is who we are in Kalihi, a caring community that supports uplifting its people.”
