YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHow can Hawaiʻi do a better job of helping people on the streets?
More than a dozen Civil Beat reporters and photographers set out to chronicle the reality of homelessness on Oʻahu on Jan. 26, the day of the homeless census.
Civil Beat has covered O‘ahu’s Point-in-Time count for more than a decade, and while the homeless census is a way of gauging the state’s progress — or lack thereof — in addressing homelessness, it only provides a limited snapshot of the crisis.
This year, they set out before dawn to follow security teams and business owners, sat in on court hearings, learned the intricacies of making camp under an overpass, talked story with working families searching for stable housing and meth users not ready to make a change.
