A Hawaii Senate bill proposes a three-year pilot program to create safe, government-sanctioned spaces for homeless women and children under 18, allowing them to live in vehicles or communal tents with access to security, bathrooms, laundry, and case management.
The initiative, supported by Republican lawmakers and backed by $2 million in federal funding for a village on Oahu, aims to reduce risks like assault and theft.
While the House version didn’t pass, the Senate bill advanced with the child age limit raised to 18.
The program complements state efforts including 30 new tiny-home kauhale communities and federal housing vouchers, with officials noting permanent structures may better serve vulnerable families and survivors of domestic violence.
