Homeless provider sees influx of mainland clients
So, you do know these "nonprofit" corporations get most of their money from state grants? State grants that are financed by kamaaina paying their taxes?
"Aloha also means goodbye. Aloha!"
Homeless provider sees influx of mainland clients
quote:
George Schemel just checked in to the IHS men's shelter in Iwilei. Up until three weeks ago, the 65-year-old was living on the streets of California.
"I come over here to have a good time and go back when I need to go back," he said.
In the short time he's been here, he's says he spent all of his money and landed himself in the hospital after a fight. This is the second time in as many years George has been homeless in Hawaii. Last time, he was on Maui.
"Basically every time I come over here I never think it through very much," Schemel said.
Schemel is among a growing number of clients that Hawaii's largest emergency shelter is seeing who are from the mainland.
