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.
