Dear Chair Dela Cruz, Vice Chair Keith-Agaran, and Committee Members:
RE: SB 2505, SD1 Relating to Health
When it comes to the homeless, I rely heavily on Hawaii Island's Continuum of
Care, Community Alliance Partners for guidance. My understanding is that the CAP
Executive Committee has identified SB 2505 as a priority, having found a strong
correlation between mental illness and homelessness.
It is my hope that this Legislature can find appropriate funding for this important
initiative.
Respectfully Submitted,
74_, .
