Aloha kākou,

As sweeps increase and our houseless ʻohana are forced from place to place with no safe shelter, we are building something Maui has needed for generations — a Puʻuhonua, a true sanctuary of healing, recovery, and cultural restoration rooted in aloha ʻāina.

This Puʻuhonua will provide:
✨ Safe shelter for our most vulnerable
✨ A place for detox, stabilization, and healing
✨ Cultural practices to restore identity and dignity
✨ Workforce training to build purpose and possibility
✨ Community governance rooted in kapu aloha
✨ A space that cannot be swept away

Our houseless population is 95% lineal and generational descendants. They deserve safety, culture, land, and a pathway home. This Puʻuhonua is how we make that a reality.

Your donation today helps us build the foundation — infrastructure, utilities, cultural spaces, and basic operations that will support hundreds of people seeking refuge from the cycle of sweeps, trauma, addiction, incarceration, and displacement.

🪶 Why Your Support Matters:

Our people have been swept repeatedly with nowhere legal or safe to go.
The Puʻuhonua is our solution:

A place to rest without fear
A place to detox and heal with cultural guidance
A place to rebuild identity, family, and purpose
A place grounded in Kānāwai Māmalahoe, the right to safety
A place rooted in who we are as kanaka and community

We are not waiting for permission to care for our people.
We are building it now — together.
