preventive public health programs.
b) Substance abuse, domestic violence and other social problems are reduced.
c) Puna residents have increased access to assistance programs to
develop, repair or rent affordable housing.
d) Programs are available to assist those seeking housing in Puna.
e) Public education is better integrated into Puna’s communities.
(3.3.2)
Objectives:
Seek additional locations for medical/substance abuse/senior home care treatment facilities in both lower and upper Puna.
Provide effective and readily accessible substance
abuse treatment and prevention services within Puna.
Provide transitional shelter and programs to assist homeless Puna residents in moving toward self-sufficient status.
Support initiatives
by DHHL to develop appropriate projects for housing and job opportunities for Native Hawaiians in Puna.
Increase the availability of accessible and affordable housing through self-help
programs, government assistance and innovative housing tenure arrangements, such as co-housing, limited equity cooperatives, and community land trusts.
Increase opportunity for community
involvement in public education.
Urge the State to locate its community facilities, such as public schools, in designated village/town centers, and to design them in conformance to the
criteria applicable to the type of village/town center at that location.
College level classes and vocational training opportunities should be provided in the Puna district in order
to make post high school education more accessible to Puna residents and to help create a more highly-trained and skilled local workforce for emerging industries and commerce.
