Waianae Coast

[om_wahine]

A friend of mine called yesterday to let me know that they may have to move. They have been living in Ma'ili for over seven years and her girls are good friends with Imagine. They are behind two months on their rent and have to have it paid by Friday or will be evicted

Homeless in Waianae

[anonymous]

I, too, am saddened every day by the homeless I see in Waianae. It's scary to realize that many of these people ARE working, but that they have managed to slip off the edge of life's merry-go-round, for any number of reasons, and now they simply cannot catch up and get back on. One thing I have noticed here is the lack of regular, decent apartment buildings. And the term "affordable housing" seems to be linked to pretty much only purchased houses. I wonder what the rental rates for a 2-bedroom apartment need tobe to be affordable for a normal working family? Is it possible to build such an apartment building and make it work financially?
