I. Executive Summary
The Lights On project is a proposed houseless shelter designed to address the critical need for safe, supportive, and sustainable housing for houseless individuals on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our commitment to this project arises from the need to provide assistance to vulnerable populations and reduce the growing number of houseless individuals in the region. The Lights On shelter will offer provisional housing, comprehensive support services, and various opportunities designed to empower residents to break the cycle of homelessness.
II. Background and Needs Assessment
The ongoing and increasing houseless crisis on the Big Island of Hawaii demands an immediate and proactive response. As of the most recent data available, there are more than 1,200 individuals experiencing homelessness in Hawaii County, of which approximately 70% are unsheltered–the highest rate in the entire state. Factors contributing to the crisis include a lack of affordable housing, limited employment opportunities, a higher cost of living, and inadequate support services.
III. Project Description
The Lights On project proposes a multi-functional houseless shelter and resource center. The proposed location for the shelter is on conveniently accessible land near public transportation, ensuring easy access for the target population at a lowest possible cost. The facility will offer the following key services for houseless individuals:
- Safe and secure temporary housing, with separate areas for men, women, and families.
- Access to nutritious meals, clean showers, and laundry facilities.
- 24/7 on-site security and staff presence ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all residents.
- A comprehensive case management program that identifies and addresses the challenges faced by each resident, enabling them to transition into long-term housing and self-sufficiency.
- Access to on-site physical and mental health support services, including medical professionals, counseling, and referral services.
- Educational and employment programs designed to improve technical skills and career opportunities, in collaboration with local businesses and educational institutions.
- Coordination with state and local governments, private donors, and non-profit organizations to ensure the ongoing operation, funding, and management of the facility.
IV. Implementation Plan
A. Site Acquisition and Development
- Identify suitable land, secure property rights, and obtain necessary approvals and permits from relevant government and regulatory bodies.
- Develop the selected site, ensuring the adequate construction of the facility and proper accommodation for the proposed services.
B. Partnerships and Collaborations
- Develop partnerships with state and local government agencies, non-profit organizations, private donors, and volunteers to support various aspects of the project.
- Form collaborations with local businesses and educational institutions to provide vocational trainings, internships, and job placements for residents.
C. Staffing and Operations
- Hire and train qualified staff, including case managers, security personnel, medical professionals, and support staff.
- Implement safety measures, operational protocols, and information technology infrastructure to ensure best practices in service delivery.
V. Timeline
- Land acquisition and necessary approvals: 6-12 months
- Construction of the facility and site development: 12-24 months
- Initial staff hiring and training: 24-30 months
- Commencement of operations: 30-36 months
VI. Budget and Funding
The development and ongoing operation of The Lights On shelter will require a significant investment. The estimated budget for the site acquisition, construction, and the first two years of operation is $5 million, to be funded through a combination of government subsidies, grants, private donations, and in-kind support from partnering organizations.
VII. Proposal Conclusion
The Lights On houseless shelter development proposal presents an informed and sustainable solution to the ongoing crisis of houselessness on the Big Island of Hawaii. With a strong emphasis on providing not only a safe and secure environment but also comprehensive support services, this project aims to create real, positive outcomes for individuals experiencing homelessness. By collaborating with key stakeholders, we believe The Lights On shelter can become a powerful force for change in the community and an example of how to address the complex challenges of houselessness.
