GHH in Community Alliance partners' 2022 election questionnaire

Community Alliance Partners (CAP) has published their 2022 Election Questionnaire, which invited candidates running for a range of offices to respond to questions about housing and homelessness. The questionnaire was developed and facilitated by CAP, a coalition of non-profit, government, business and community stakeholders and volunteers committed to ending homelessness of Hawai`i Island.

In sharing their views on ending homelessness, several candidates cited the work of Going Home Hawai`i, in the order listed in the Election Questionnaire:

LAURA ACASIO
Candidate for State Senate, District 1

"I applaud CAP's strategic plan. ... I know it takes knowledge and support from elected officials to achieve these goals and therefore it is my duty to stay connected and informed with those who have boots-on-the-ground as service providers ... I am grateful to the people behind Hope Services, Hawaii Island Home for Recovery, Going Home Hawaii, Care Hawaii, Bay Clinic, Neighborhood Place of Puna, Ulu Wini, Men of Pa` and the many, many more hands that help take care of our houseless neighbors."

ASHLEY LEHAULANI KIERKIEWICZ
Candidate for County Council, District 4

"I appreciate the collaboration various local organizations to tackle the issue of homelessness in a holistic way. HOPE Services, Neighborhood Place of Puna, Habitat for Humanity, Interfaith Communities in Action, BISAC, Uluwini, Going Home Hawai`i, and OHCD are some of the stakeholders working hand-in-hand to provide wrap around support for homeless individuals and `ohana."

CINDY EVANS
Candidate for County Council, District 9
