Join Us in Ending Family Homelessness: Sponsor a Hale at Hale ʻIki in 2026
Every family deserves a safe place to rest, dream, and rebuild.
This year, Neighborhood Place of Puna invites you to be part of the solution to family homelessness through our Sponsor a Hale campaign. Your sponsorship provides a lifeline to parents and children who are working to overcome the trauma of homelessness and build a brighter, more stable future.
What is Hale ʻIki?
Hale ʻIki is NPP’s Family Assessment Center, an emergency shelter located in Puna. It provides a safe space for families experiencing homelessness to heal, stabilize, and take the next steps toward permanent housing.
Hale ʻIki consists of 10 micro-units, or hale, where families receive essential services like food, clothing, and access to a shared kitchen, laundry, and bathroom facilities. More importantly, it’s a place where they can begin healing from the trauma of homelessness, with 24/7 support from compassionate staff providing a safe and nurturing environment.
And on any given day, when keiki laughter fills the air, it reminds us that hope still lives here.
