Homelessness is a major issue in Hawaii due to high property costs, limited housing space, and insufficient government resources. Buying or renting a home is extremely expensive due to high demand from those wanting to live in "paradise". Additionally, catering to the booming tourism industry takes up much of the available housing space. Government agencies tasked with assisting the homeless have limited funding to address the complex root causes of homelessness in a meaningful way. Many propose only temporary fixes that fail to create long-term solutions to the problem.

the complex root causes of
homelessness.
