With a land area of 4,000 square miles, Hawaii Island is the youngest and largest of the
state's island chain. Comprising two-thirds of the entire land area for the state, the
southern-most island is justly referred to as the "Big Island" -constantly expanding as
its active volcano, Kilauea, continues to birth new land. Polynesian legend acclaims the
island's creation to the fire goddess Pele, which remains her most recent greatest
accomplishment. While its magnitude and natural expansion are marveled by those
that visit this place, these very factors have also impacted the island's growing
population, access to life essentials, higher development costs, and limited funding
resources.
Growing Population
As the Big Island continues to grow in size, so does its population. The most current
County of Hawaii Data Book, 2004 (with updates), confirms that the Big Island has
experienced a large population increase -from just under 150,000 people in 2000 to
just over 170,000 in 2006. This rapid rate of population growth surpasses the other
rural island counties. And though the island of Oahu has the highest number of
homeless persons, the Big Island continues to have the largest proportion of homeless
persons when compared to its total population.
Access to Life Essentials
While the state as a whole has felt the negative affects of increasing housing prices and
decreased availability of affordable housing inventory, the Big Island remains the "most"
affordable island within the chain. Combined with a still rural atmosphere of "old
Hawaii", the Big Island has an appeal that is apparent from a migrant influx from, not
only the continental U.S., but neighbor islands as well. This incoming population spans
the gamut of homeless persons to gainfully-employed two-income households.
Transportation has been an issue for all people in the spectrum, as job concentration
areas are spread out over the island. For those that do have reliable transportation, fuel
cost becomes a financial concern -both in price and frequency in accommodating
employment and housing needs.
Higher Development Costs
As the island is still in its "development" stages, the cost to develop housing and/or
service resources for the homeless population has also become a financial challenge.
With lava rock covering much of the terrain on many parts of the island, costs to
develop and construct are much higher than the outer islands. Homeless service
providers do not have the financial wherewithal to respond to such expenses.
Homeless programs are then forced to stretch existing limited resources to
accommodate need, which stresses program and faci{ity functionality. In short, fewer
programs and facilities serve well beyond capacity.
Limited Funding Resources
With population increases and affordable housing opportunities becoming scarcer, the
availability of funding resources to homeless providers statewide is burdened. As more
'1379pjjm
providers statewide access the limited sources available, the net result is less funding
each year to accomplish a growing problem. Thus, as the problem worsens, less
inventory, operational and financial resources exist to properly address the need.
In support of efforts to end homelessness, the Continuum of Care for the Big Island,
known as the Community Alliance Partners (CAP), works collaboratively to strategize
and pool resources to establish the service and shelter needs of island homeless.
Comprised of homeless service providers, faith-based organizations, State and County
officials, and consumers, the CAP focuses on its mission to assist individuals and
families who become homeless or are at-risk of becoming, to regain their housing
stability and a greater quality of life." Though CAP efforts to address homelessness, as
laid out in its Big Island Strategic Plan on Homelessness, speak to the specific
demographic and geographic needs of the island, the CAP remains consistent with the
statewide goal of ending homelessness in Hawaii.
1379pjjm
Please add the following underscored information to the "Hawai'i
Accomplishments to Ending Chronic Homeless" section.
Team Infrastructure and Membership
• Continuum of Care Chairs participate in Interagency Council meetings.
Statewide Continuum meetings are scheduled to coincide with ICH meetings
quarterly. At the Statewide Continuum meetings, continuums discuss
issues/concerns on a local and statewide level, while coordinating existing
resources and actively seeking effective methods to increase resource
capacity in addressing these issue/concems.
Partnership and Support
• Mayor of the County of Hawaii has formed the Mayor's Taskforce on
Housing, which evaluates the negative social impacts on residents facing
the current housing market.
• In addition to offering "free" islandwide bus service. Administration of the
County of Hawai i has reconfigured bus schedules to accommodate hotel
employees that would otherwise commute long distances. This
consideration was a measure formulated out of the Mayor's Taskforce on
Housing.
• To provide incentive to developers that produce affordable units in excess
of what is reauin:d by code. County of Hawaii Administration offers
expedited processing of housing aroiects through the various permitting
processes.
• To assist with addressing homelessness on the Big Island. Stanford Carr
Development built and donated the first homeless service center in West
Hawai i, which has been in operation since October 2006. The facility.
known as "The Friendly Place". provides access to case management
services, meals, lockers and bathing facilities.
• To perpetuate affordable housing inventory. County of Hawaii
Administration is pursuing an amendment to its affordable housing aolicv
that would require affordable units produced under the code to be owner-
occupant.
• County of Hawai i Administration is aursuing legislation that would create
a tax incentive to homeowners that rent at affordable rates. A homeowner
exemption would be granted to the owner of the affordable rental.
• The Bia Island CoC has formed an ad-hoc committee that now collaborates
with the businesses surrounding The Friendly Place. This group meets bi-
monthly to 111 discuss the co-existence of the new facility and the business
community and 121 provide education. awareness and support for the
upcoming overnight program.
Increasing Access to Mainstream Services
• The Employment Subcommittee of the Mayor's Taskforce on Housing
(County of Hawai it actively pursued and was awarded funding during the
2007 Legislative Session (via SB9321. which provides 533.000 to establish a
1379pjjm . I p
cognitive restructuring program that will assist the reentry of ex-offenders
into the community.
• The County of Hawaii received release and allotment of CIP funds 12006
Legislative Sessionl of 5500.000. along with an appropriated $500.000
County match, for its West Hawai i Overnight Program.
• The County of Hawai i secured EDI Special Purpose Grants of 5670.613
(20031 and 5148.500120061 for its West Hawai i Overnight Program.
• The County of Hawaii secured a HOME grant of 5325.279.21 120071 for
design of its Kaloko Housing Program.
• The State executed a Memorandum of Agn;ement with the County of
Hawai i to award funding of $400.000 (via Act 100.2006 Legislative
Sessionl to purchase and repair two 121 transitional housing units.
• The County purchased a foreclosed unit, which will be repaired and used
as a transitional housing program for singles.
• The Office for Social Ministry (OSMI has assumed management of the
"Kiheipua Emergency Shelter" and has increased shelter capacity by 20
beds.
• The OSM secured "Ponahawai Ola", a facility providing emergency shelter
options to ex-0ffenders. The OSM has also increased bed capacity of the
facility from 24 to 28 beds.
• The OSM increased bed capacity at its "Beyond Shelter" transitional facility
from 37 to 41 beds.
• The OSM established "Tenant Solutions". which solicits landlords willing
to rent to homeless persons with credit issues (tenant-based). In
exchange, the OSM ensures lease compliance, while working to repair the
tenant's credit.
• The OSM, in collaboration with Dav-Lum Rentals, established the "Day-Lum
Pilot Project". This program mirrors Tenant Solutions. but differs in that
the units are made available through one housing provider -Dav Lum
Rentals (project-basedl.
• Faith Against Drugs IFADI. received its initial funding contract with the
State Homeless Stipend Program, which enhanced the operations of the
facility that serves victims of substance abuse. FAD has also acquired
additional ssace for case management and the development of a
community kitchen.

"Yurts - A simple Solution"
~YU RTS Q~ HAWAI' Its
Yurt financinE options:
Unsecured personal loans:
10% APR on $30,000 loan for four yeazs = $760 a month
This loan ends up being a total of $36,480, a total of $6,480 in interest.
To put this into perspective: A $200,000 housing loan with a 7% APR is $1,330.06 per
month. Accumulated over 30 yeazs the interest on this loan is $279,016.
Yurts are a very reasonable solution to such high interest.
An unsecured personal loan is a logical step for the purchase of a yurt, especially in
comparison to a housing loan. There aze also no additional fees such as closing costs,
getting the loan underwritten, or other legal obligations.
There are many types of personal loans, land loans, etc., therefore, it is not only
unnecessary to obtain a mortgage for this size of a loan, but it is not economically sound.
The same loan quoted above with a 5 yeaz time-frame is $640 a month, for a total of
$38,400, with $8,400 in interest over 5 years.
Another option is to obtain a personal line of credit.
At 10.74% APR for three yeazs on a $25,000 loan, the monthly payment would be $815
for a total of $29,340, interest paid in the amount of $4,340.
There are many other loan options as well. These are just a few that fit many situations.
