Thank you for this article. The fact that there is *no housing for the poor* beyond limited-stay, primitive shelters and the street is not well understood. Two solutions: 1. Allow trailer parks and/or build $300-$700/mo rooms or apartments. 2. Rebuild the safety net of neighborhood mental health drop-in centers (medication storage and reminders, use as a mailing address, get a shower and rest) we used to have (before Gov. Linda Lingle dismantled them). At the core, Hawaii does not really have a homelessness crisis, we have an affordable and supportive housing crisis.
