Waikiki Health opened Keauhou, an emergency shelter for homeless couples and individuals where an estimated 40 people have already been housed from the homeless tent community living in the Moiliili Neighborhood Park. Keauhou Shelter will use the Housing First model, which places clients in housing as quickly as possible, followed by client-centered “wrap-around” services.

HONU Pilot Project in McCully/Moiliili
The Homeless Outreach and Navigation for Unsheltered Persons (HONU) is a state-funded pilot project that is co-managed by the City and County of Honolulu, HPD equipment support and enforcement, and Department of Community Services staff with partnerships with provider outreach and shelters. In McCully, the project would operate as a service-oriented hub at the Old Stadium Park by the old bowling alley where services and access to programs can be provided in a safe and HPD-regulated setting. The pilot program, a success in Waipahu, would provide longer-term solutions to solving the homelessness crisis in our communities. For more information, contact HPD Officer Alan Ibrao at aibrao@honolulu.gov.
