Transitional Housing Program
Stories of Success
UPDATE: Sept. 2026
Wow!!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR FIRST MOM!
We have something very special to celebrate!
One of our amazing Project Hawai‘i moms on O‘ahu is preparing to transition out of our transitional housing program after just 20 months!
She has worked hard, stayed committed to creating a stable future for her little one, and is now moving into the next chapter of her journey with a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher.
We couldn’t be more proud of her!
Congratulations, Mom! ❤️
This is exactly what transitional housing is meant to do — provide a safe place to land, the time and support needed to rebuild, and ultimately a pathway toward a permanent home and greater independence.
Twenty months. One determined mom. One little one. And a brand-new chapter ahead.
We are cheering you on every step of the way!
Coming Soon!
Real stories from families whose lives were transformed by our program.
UPDATES:
We have secured 3 homes. 2 on Big Island (east side) and 1 on O'ahu (west side).
We just moved a family into the first Big Island home, the second one is still in reconstruction.
Our O'ahu Condo was just purchased in December 2024, and we have a single mom with one baby in the home now.

Our Mission
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower families to achieve lasting self-sufficiency. Through housing stability and tailored support services, we aim to:

Reduce homelessness in Hawai’i.

Strengthen the social and emotional well-being of participating families.

Provide the tools necessary for parents to secure employment and children to excel in education.

How it Works
How It Works
-
Safe Housing: Families receive secure housing for up to 24 months, giving them the stability they need to focus on rebuilding their lives.
-
Support Services: We provide mentorship, life skills training, financial literacy workshops, and access to community resources.
-
Educational Empowerment: Children are supported through tutoring, mentorship, and activities to help them thrive academically.
-
Self-Sufficiency Goals: Parents are guided toward employment, educational achievements, and long-term housing plans.

The Need
-
Over 60% of homeless families in Hawai’i cite a lack of affordable housing as a primary barrier to stability.
-
Children living in unstable housing situations are twice as likely to drop out of school, perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
-
Families who participate in transitional housing programs are 85% more likely to maintain stable housing after completing the program.
Your contribution ensures these families have the tools they need to build a brighter future.

The Outcome
-
Stable Families: After two years, families graduate with the resources and confidence to live independently.
-
Educated Youth: Children achieve better school attendance, grades, and social skills.
