A New Chapter for Pu'uhonoua | Honolulu News

After a decade of community and resilience, the Pu’uhonoua o Wai’anae homeless encampment—once home to 250 people—is winding down, with just 30 residents left, eagerly awaiting their permanent studio apartments set to arrive in October. This emotional transition, part of a larger state-backed relocation to a new 20-acre site, honors deep personal ties while dismantling old structures to restore the land.
