Hawai'i County Homeless Engagement Hui
a collaboration of volunteers and agencies committed to serving those in our community experiencing unsheltered homelessness!
In partnership with the County of Hawai’i, The HCHE Hui is currently a pilot program inclusive of street outreach around Hawai’i island to reach homeless individuals who may want/need access to community resources. The HCHE Hui conducts weekly street outreach to engage with houseless individuals. Individuals have the option to enroll as a “participant” with the Hui. Once enrolled, the participant’s needs are accessed and appropriate services are provided and/or referred to help them meet their needs of securing stable housing.
