Puʻuhonua O Nēnē
Puʻuhonua O Nēnē, opened in partnership with the State, is a temporary shelter initially created for Maui wildfire survivors who were homeless before the disaster. Since our opening, we have expanded to provide shelter for over 400 of our houseless neighbors from across the island of Maui. This safe space offers essential services including housing, medical assistance, meals, and more. Dedicated to holistic healing through health, culture, and wellness, the shelter ensures dignity and support for its residents as they rebuild their lives.

What is Harm Reduction
Harm reduction is a public health approach focused on minimizing the negative consequences of risky behaviors, especially drug use. It prioritizes individual well-being and dignity, offering practical strategies like needle exchange programs and supervised consumption sites. The goal is to reduce health, social, and legal harms without necessarily requiring abstinence, improving overall quality of life and health outcomes.
