Neighborhood Place of Puna’s Hale Iki Family Assessment Center is a temporary emergency shelter for families with minor children who are homeless, at-risk of homelessness. Our staff uses the Housing First Approach. This means that we are participant-centered and work with you to address your barriers towards permanent housing. Hale Iki is a low barrier program; we do not require sobriety, mental health treatment, good credit, or any other “housing ready” requirements for you to enter our shelter.

You will be assigned a Housing Navigator who will provide housing case management and connection to available resources. Housing Navigators will help you create housing goals and steps to achieve your goals. Once you find permanent housing, your Housing Navigator will provide 6 months case management to help you navigate tenancy skills, financial literacy, landlord relations and any other barriers to keeping your new home.

 

Please call our 24 hour Shelter Line to inquire about vacancies at Hale Iki.
