Waimanalo Homeless Village Controversy | Honolulu News
Description
A new homeless village is set to rise in Waimanalo, designed to house over 100 individuals—including kupuna and trauma survivors—with funding from private donors and oversight from state and county partners. While the project promises stability and support, it’s facing fierce community backlash over public health concerns and perceived disregard for local input. Developer Duane Kurisu stands by the plan, stressing legal compliance and phased construction, while acknowledging delays as final plans and permits are finalized. The goal? A fully operational, safer haven ready next year—marking the end of the current village’s era and a fresh start for those in need.
