Neighborhood board adopts resolution backing a comprehensive community support initiative
Summary
The Ala Moana–Kakaako Neighborhood Board voted 8‑0 to adopt a resolution calling for a multi‑tier community support initiative — including transitional housing, social‑worker integration, resident managers and business partnerships — to address houselessness and related services.
The board voted to adopt a resolution titled a "Comprehensive Community Support Initiative" after an action‑committee presentation and discussion. The resolution asks the board to support development of permanent transitional housing, multi‑tier supports (social workers, volunteer mentors, resident managers), structured business partnerships and funding for implementation and oversight.
Committee chair Emma Davis shared the draft and offered the document to members for consideration. A motion to adopt was made and seconded; the chair called a roll‑call vote and recorded eight members in favor. The board discussed oversight and emphasized that the initiative is intended to lessen reliance on law enforcement for social‑service needs and to coordinate funding and staffing for 9‑1‑1 operators and contracted social‑service organizations.
