Call details
What we'd like to talk about
Aloha, I work in homeless services, and our advocacy coalition is looking for ways to alert our members and request testimony when we need them to contact their representatives or testify on a bill.
Additional context
I love Resistbot and wonder if we could set up something like this for contacting Hawai'i State Legislators or submitting testimony via the capitol website.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Our mission
We bring to life gospel values of justice, love, compassion and hope, through services, empowerment and advocacy.
What we do
We offer:
Homeless Outreach, Diversion, Rapid Re-housing, Veterans' Services, Housing First, Permanent Supportive Housing, Emergency Shelter, and more.
You may have heard about our micro shelters for lava evacuees that were built in 30 days during the 2018 eruption of the Kilauea volcano. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2018/10/12/hawaii-county-only-quarter-lava-evacuees-have-found-permanent-housing/
We're currently working to open "Ohana Zones," which are essentially creative solutions to homelessness that use a community's resources to meet its needs. See the link to find out how we're turning an old hospital into a shelter!

We also are working to address a major cause of homelessness on our island--a lack of affordable housing. We're currently raising $40,000 to build a prototype modular home, that we hope will become a new option for people looking for affordable housing.
