@Manny L Yes, however, there are some elderly folks out there who can no longer work (health problems), and do not make enough on their social security. They deserve dignity and shelter.
We are very grateful for these tiny homes. Each has been donated by either individual contractors or supporters. They are super adorable. Maybe small but do-able. Misconception on everyone having addiction problems. Try renting from someone that takes 7,000 for rent and illegally kicks you out!! This is far better than a shelter or the streets. Not everyone is forunate to have a place to call their own. Yes this is a stepping stone but like i stated a respite stop to back on your feet. Rent is 30/70 tapping out at only $500. Depending on income. Before you judge imagine what it feels like to loose everything!! Your pets included. When so much is taken its hard to remember your own identity......
1:15 "Just broke ground TODAY on the Big Island..." Really? That is the fastest build in 1 day I've ever seen with residents, houses, gardens, lawns, running water, hoses, etc. How much did it cost per house? Where does the water come from? Where does Power come from? How much.is the rent per month with expenses? How much did it cost to build the project? How much does it cost and take to maintain the "kauhale" project. many questions... unanswered... for people who really live in the streets
All government homeless programs don't work and are not for the homeless. It's for SS #s. It's to be dependent on your pod home lifestyle. Eat the bugs... Stay in your pod , useless eater!!!
It costs 145k per unit, 7 million total. Then the rent is 750 per unit, if the res cant pay then the government then pays. The company spent 200,000 and the rest was funded by the government and other non-profits, but the company will receive at least 500,000 per year in rent. How much did they donate to the politician to get this deal....not sure but they will keep him in power to increase there wealth for sure.
Are you asking so you can help pay for homeless homes. That’s great! All you who have so much extra money are invited to help those less fortunate. Nobody needs a Gigantic 50 million dollar house. Keep a simple eye and give to those in need and you will be much happier. People don’t have to wait for government to do this, people can talk to their accountants, buy up available land and put tiny homes on it, and you can screen whoever you want to live in those homes. It can be done all over . ❤ Tiny homes surrounded by fruit trees and other vegetation?
Sooo needed .... I'm here in Oahu and my transition out of homelessness was fast tracked only because I was able bodied, actively employed, and fortunately followed my heart and traveled from Brooklyn with all my personal documents. Otherwise it would've been very challenging. I know some individuals denied assistance out of their situation because they don't have what they need to identify themselves.
It's rough out here I'm thankful that resources like this are available for those looking to better themselves. I'm now going on my 2ndyear here in my own studio after being homeless and camping on the West side for 6 months. It's been a Journey for sure.
I remember when they did this in Haleiwa back in 2001 but the residents were uo in arms about them. I was sad to see them taken down as soon as they put them up and I lived a mile away and worked right there and didn't find it to be an issues.
I agree. The successful ones I've seen wind up in or next to commercial areas like Nimitz Highway has some near the sand island access road. When we were putting them up the project involved shipping over tiny houses that were originally constructed as temporary housing in Japan for Fukushima Tsunami survivors.
Los Angeles Need's To Follow Your Example. They Rejected Tiny Home Being Built. A Man Was Building Them For Free. Los Angeles Counsel And Los Angeles County Rejected The Idea. They Could've Found Property To House Thousands Across Los Angeles County. Truly A Blessing How You're Taking Care Of All Services They Need. There's Other States That Welcome Tiny Homes. Giving Hope To So Many.
Because the fake liberals are all talk and no show. They all preach about wanting to help the homeless as long as it's nowhere near their homes and rather they build them in the desert then the primarily conservatives that live in rual California don't support it which I respect more because they're honest about it.
@@davidkmillerphotography Unlike the republians who want to do absolutely nothing but complain. Isn't it time for both parties to work together on a solution?
I’ve got 7acres of land behind me we own. In TN. I would help. Depending on their background checks and work background. It’s important to help! If it were up to me…. I’d LOVE to help those trying to go to school! And become better for themselves. I would’ve appreciated this help when I was in school with three babies in diapers. I stayed in housing for 7yrs. Getting my nursing license. I was lucky.
Well it is certainly a start! I would have been happier with 10 Additional square feet. Remember, the folks in Hawaii are a bit bigger then most. But still a solid start!
This is an example how the rich stay rich and poor stay poor. This project costs the government (tax payers) 7 million dollars, around 145k per house and 42 people being helped. The government gives the politicians donors / friends the 7 million to build and its owned by them. Then they charge Rent around 750-1250 dollars per unit that the government pays for. And now the company collects 500,000 per year on a zero investment property just so they can funnel money back to the politician to keep them in power.
To their private foundations disguised as a charity where they trickle out miserly sums to actual charities each year-they get tax deduction upfront it’s a fraud allowed by IRS lobbied for by the wealthy
It's high time for proactive measures to support the homeless population. With ample available land, it's crucial to unlock public lands and allocate space for these individuals to reside.
they should house every body in those tiny homes , if people can find part time jobs and live there , it will solve lots of problems and keep off the street and give them second chances in life :)
@@meh5069 No, maybe not voting for progressive politicians that caused the problem with their woke policies in the first place is what I'd start with. I know if I don't work I don't eat, I can see giving a helping hand if need be but if you wish to be useless in society I have no empathy for that choice.
These things are a great idea. Even if you are not homeless, many people would love to live in these. Unfortunately, they are meeting a lot of resistance from city and state governments.
If the goal is to reduce the number of homeless individuals, why not consider revising the zoning laws? Currently, each available lot for sale on Oahu, where I reside, is approximately 5,000 square feet and costs around $400,000. However, if Hawaii allowed the sale of smaller lot sizes, such as 500 square feet, instead of the current price of $400K, it would be possible to purchase a lot for $40,000. This would be ideal for building a tiny home.
put people in cubicles and charge them the price of a house, keep them in debt forever and make sure people own nothing and like it. ... that is the inevitable plan with all of this. it's disturbing.
What a good idea. Train people and have them earn their place. Providing mental health services is also a good thing. Money well spent. Scrap the Aloha Stadium improvement and spend the 400 million on housing for those that need and deserve it.
Seems like a good idea on the surface but I lived on the big island for years and know the realities. Just another feel-good political move that will inevitably become a debacle. It will get overpopulated by desperate islanders then eventually become overrun and taken over by addicts and criminals. Wonderful people on that island but the socioeconomic realities, corruption and criminal elements that pervade Hawaii will lead it to devolve in a very predictable manner. Within two years.
Haha man, voices of realism and logic like yours are few and far between. A bum in SF said it best: You're just putting a band aid on the wound. These things never work and never will.
Just print some people that’ll make your tiny town work. It’s like a place for pets you don’t wanna live with,but also don’t wanna feel bad turning them away.
Why do people think they need houses 😆 You can literally sleep in the grass. You just need bathhouses to keep clean. 53 people when an entire Island burned to the ground.
Send the homeless you from the mainland that don’t have ohana down here back home and the other homeless mainlander that have family here locate them find out when they move to Hawaii and send their family and w/ their homeless relative back to the mainland. Then work on make Hawaii homes for kanaka ppl
common sense101: why build home so small when land is so so cheap??? most smaller home places in World do this because the land is so expensive.. in east Hawaii there are thousands of acres in the $8K / acre range.. my 3 acre lot next to my 3 acre w/cabin lot I bough was $18K only 7 yrs ago... where in USA can you buy an acre for $8K???
America drove up the land price so high that natives can't afford to live there. Now they think they're doing a solid by building fancy cardboard boxes for them to live in. No foreigners should be allowed to own property until every Hawaiian is where they want to be. The same should apply for every country
@@davec3651 To be able to sleep safely in a bed, be able to store possessions and lock up, have a roof above - all major improvements from camping on a street. But I don't think the word "home" is quite right - without these tiny dwellings having a private toilet, sink, refrigerator and simple cooking appliance. That is true peace and dignity to me.
We have whatever appliances we need.. We have bottled water a certified kitchen. A new small kitchen in progress to be made soon. We have a refrigerator in every unit. Maybe shared bathroom but they are very nice and we maintain it so EVERYONE IS COMFORTABLE!!
Will they allow tiny homes to be built on the people's land whose homes have burnt down, I'm guessing not, this is a payoff for their land I'm betting. Check into it abc like I already know you won't.
This is great news. These people deserve shelter and dignity.
America ruined Hawaii. Now they're building fancy cardboard boxes for the natives to live in. America drove them from their inheritance
Excellent news 😊 looks beautiful 🙏🙏🙏
This is awesome and much needed! Thank God for this. Everyone who work should have a place to live.
America ruined Hawaii. Americans out priced the natives. They stole Hawaiian's inheritance
@Manny L Yes, however, there are some elderly folks out there who can no longer work (health problems),
and do not make enough on their social security. They deserve dignity and shelter.
Thank you so much for this, there is still hope in the world.
We need this in California but the politicians don’t seem to want anything less than building condos at a cost of hundreds of thousands per unit.
Politicians and Cali government can't even fix all the illegal marijuana cartel growers there.
Thank you Governor Green❤
So many hotel workers living out of cars. Please make room for them as well.

I would fear that someone would find a way to use these homes for AirBNB rentals. They have to be built in supportive communities with restrictions.

Should be adopted in 50 states.Prolong life and lessen drug use.

Quonset huts last indefinitely!!! Small but works even in -60 below 0 had one in Alaska!!❤❤❤❤❤
The HOA fees on some of these projects on the mainland just tripled. People are moving back into apartments.

What about us who work 48+ hours a week and still can’t afford to live ? Cant even find affordable living or anything:(((
Agree! There should be affordable housing for all.
Go behind the rubbish dump in hilo , get plenty small house they built before that got dumped there
What is the price for a tiny house
Now if they could only find a way to get the meth out of the area.🤯
they should house every body in those tiny homes , if people can find part time jobs and live there , it will solve lots of problems and keep off the street and give them second chances in life :)
California could take lessons from Hawaii.
Why? We'll just give the homeless free airfare to Hawaii.
I made one just like that in my yard. Lol
Don't run it like JAIL. You might get more people moving in..
How many are you sending to Lahaina town for people that lost everything in the fire ⁉️💕🙏🤙
I like tiny homes, but why was this done as an emergency proclamation? I bet it’s to bypass any oversight.
I love this but just read a comment from someone trying to move to Hawaii for a "free house"
The rest of us work to pay rent with a little food.🙏🤙
Looks nice now give it a year, all you have to do is look at how the inner city projects turned out.
So is homelessness the better alternative?

Nobody minds the hunchback mice but breaking the back window, when putting the key in the front door, is very annoying.
How about fast tracking / breaking ground for Lahaina victims on Maui in Lahaina?
This is great California needs to take a lesson but they just removed tiny homes because they were to small and didn't meet code for that reason
Where are the bathrooms?
No room for a tiny garden, tiny pool, tiny deck, tiny patio, tiny swing, you need nothing but a pod.
Matrix much?
No room for even a toilet or bathtub.
