  • You don't have to look far to find homeless people in Hawaii. But what may surprise you is that some come here knowing that they're going to be homeless. That's according to the Institute for Human Services.

    There’s nowhere to go, rent doesn’t match wages anywhere.

    My sister and I were raised wealthy. We had everything we needed or wanted growing up. I went to college and my sister decided to live a life of drugs and using others. She’s now living in a homeless tent city in Hawaii. She’s so far gone I don’t recognize her personality or voice.

    many do not have families and you cannot force them to leave their country. just the way it goes.

    This is not surprising. The vast majority of the homeless in Los Angeles are from elsewhere.

    If you plan on actually sleeping, you will wake up without your phone, wallet or backpack--even in a shelter. Oh, even your slippers.

    While I can understand the frustration at the idea of one area sending homeless people to Hawaii if they don't have a support system like family, friends, etc here but I highly doubt they're just randomly offering people one way flights. Years ago before I moved back to Hawaii I worked in homeless veteran outreach in Austin Tx. There were programs that would buy people tickets

    I came to Hawaii in 1968 to go to UH for summer school. I took all my savings and worked also. We knew we had to work to be able to live there. We also had the upmost respect for the beautiful people of Hawaii. It was the experience of a lifetime and I still live by the values I learned of Aloha. Anyone that comes without a plan of working will not have the same experience. I met my husband there and our daughter was born in Queens Hospital. Mahalo nui loa. Hawaii no ka oi 🤙

    A long time ago, I voted for Rep Mizuno because of an issue that was important to me at the time, although I definitely did not agree with some of the other stuff he supports and sponsors. But I actually got to know him some years later. I can say that one thing is for sure: John Mizuno cares very deeply about Oahu and the people he represents. He is trying to make this island a better place.

    3 basic needs of people: Food. Clothing. Shelter. All 3 found on Hawaii. Yet bear in mind these islands are isolated far from other mainlands so what they provide in the way of these necessities are limited and EXPENSIVE. Homeless is homeless no matter where one goes. So it wise and the course of good judgement in doing their research, even visiting the islands 1st so they can experience the REALITY of what it is to live homeless on these islands before making such a decision. You could very well spare yourself much frustration amd sadness.

    He said that the rent is expensive and food is expensive yet he arrived to HI anyway. Wtf? That is like me saying "I can't swim, but I am spend all day in the Ocean." That is pure stupidity.

    Sounds nice but the families don't want them back.

    I like the idea to return them back because our island is small as it is and we do not want more people coming here.
