HOMELESSNESS
Homelessness is a significant issue in Hawaii that has persisted for years. In 2023, the problem has only worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rising unemployment rates, and an increasing cost of living. According to a report by the Hawaii State Department of Human Services, approximately 6,500 people were experiencing homelessness in Hawaii in 2022. The issue is complex and multifaceted, stemming from a lack of affordable housing, mental illness, substance abuse, and limited access to healthcare services. The good news is that there are ways we can help fix this problem. One way is by supporting organizations that provide services such as affordable housing, healthcare, and employment opportunities to those in need. Volunteering, donating, and advocating for policies that address the root causes of homelessness can also make a significant impact. By coming together as a community and working towards a common goal, we can help to alleviate homelessness in Hawaii and create a brighter future for everyone.
HIGH COST OF LIVING IN HAWAII CONTINUES TO DRIVE MORE NATIVE HAWAIIANS OUT OF THE STATE
Hawaii is a beautiful place to live, with stunning beaches, warm weather, and a vibrant culture. However, one issue that has plagued the state for many years is the high cost of living. In 2024, the cost of living in Hawaii remains among the highest in the United States, with factors such as high housing costs, expensive food prices, and high transportation costs contributing to the overall expense. The high cost of living has made it difficult for many Hawaii residents to make ends meet, with some struggling to afford basic necessities like housing and healthcare. Fortunately, there are ways to help fix this issue. One solution is to increase the availability of affordable housing options. This can be achieved through the development of more affordable housing units, the creation of housing subsidies, and the implementation of rent control policies. Additionally, increasing the availability of public transportation can help reduce transportation costs for residents. Encouraging the development of local agriculture can also help reduce the cost of food by promoting locally grown produce. By addressing these issues, Hawaii can work towards becoming a more affordable place to live for its residents.
