Attack of handicap homeless man

[Guest]

Leilanidude, you make a great point.

Section 8 homes would have already past inspections good enough for Children let alone our homeless. Section 8 housing qualified should also be getting their fair shake of the opportunity offered, better schools, safe neighborhoods, and work opportunities.

One of the real issues is Many homeowning folks in upper-class places on Oahu will not allow section 8 housing for various reasons. Some folks who Own houses in both low-income areas and High-income communities could allow section 8 housing to supplement income in their poor community homes while not allowing section 8 housing folks in their better neighborhoods and homes.jmo.

Anybody know how many qualified section 8 families are currently living in the most dangerous district in Hawaii, Puna?

Would anyone know roughly how many Homeless we currently have in the Puna District?

Would Puna's many squatters be counted as part of our homeless population, or not?

Here is an article that helps explain some of our issues surrounding section 8 housing in our area.

Maybe a couple hundred or more of the couple thousand section 8 families currently living here would rather live on Oahu or Maui for safety, education, and work-related opportunities?
This would possibly leave hundreds of houses available that have already passed inspections for the homeless to move into with vouchers of their own. Puna Homeowners could also appreciate these added rental options or incentives that could come from such programs. jmo

This article helps explain homeowner's pro's and con's with this section 8 housing program.
