PUNA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN
MANAGING GROWTH: 3.3 Social Services and Housing
Action 3.3.3.d (page 3-13)
Seek State enabling legislation to allow homeowners and organizations
such as Habitat for Humanity to do their own plumbing and electrical work on modest-sized dwellings in order to lower self-help housing construction costs.
(3.3.1) Goals:
a) Puna
residents have improved access to emergency and primary medical care and 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.
