Homelessness

In partnership with the community, Kirk helped develop homeless facilities including Hale Mauliola at Sand Island, Kahauiki Village near the airport, Punawai clinic, rest stop and housing in Iwilei, and HONU navigation centers and mobile hygiene centers across O‘ahu. From 2015 to 2020, Honolulu saw a 10% decrease in total homelessness, 48% decrease in homeless families, 45% decrease in number of homeless children and 24% decrease in veteran homelessness.
