I don't know how much housing is really available. If I recall correctly the Hilo campus does not have enough housing for its students in the regular semesters, there are still students living there for summer classes.
And of course during the slow time is when all the maintenance is done on the buildings.
Then you have the other problem of mixing non-students in with the student housing. Parents don't want "dirty old men" staying in the same housing as their daughters. At the glacial pace the bureaucrats move to come up with solutions that don't work, by the time they have a process in place the fall semester will be starting.
I'm sure there is some housing available there to help in this situation, but I suspect it's not a "solution" to the problem.
