Accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities <br />(CARF), Lokahi integrates housing assistance with substance abuse and mental health <br />treatment, following the Housing First Model —recognizing that stable housing is the <br />foundation for recovery. Responding to Hawai'i County's severe homelessness crisis, driven <br />by untreated behavioral health issues and limited affordable housing, the project provides <br />coordinated housing and treatment to improve stability and wellness. <br />Key activities include individualized and group counseling; case management by a Client <br />Navigator; and housing placement through local partnerships. Clients receive ongoing <br />therapy, relapse prevention, and peer support tailored to their needs, delivered across four <br />island -wide offices located in Hilo, Pahoa, Waikoloa, and Kailua-Kona. <br />Over a 12-month period, the program aims to serve 420-480 participants island -wide. <br />Objectives include: stabilizing housing for homeless or at -risk individuals, improving long- <br />term housing retention by addressing Social Determinants of Health (SDOH), and integrating <br />behavioral health care to support sustained recovery. Expected outcomes: 75% of <br />participants maintain stable housing for at least six months, 70% improve SDOH factors and <br />mental health, 80% remain engaged for 90+ days, and system -level reliance on shelters and <br />crisis services declines. <br />
