The grant will be used by the non-profit organization Alternative Structures International, doing business as Kahumana, to address homelessness in Waianae, Hawaii. The funding will support Kahumana's provision of comprehensive social services, including rapid rehousing, homelessness prevention, case management, rental assistance, job training, and mental health and substance abuse treatment. This award is part of HUD's broader efforts to promote community-wide commitment to ending homelessness and quickly rehouse individuals and families while minimizing the trauma of homelessness.
