On #Kauai this morning with Mayor Derek Kawakami talking about his plans to address #homelessness on the Garden Isle.
He showed us two parcels of land in Lihue, one to be used for transitional housing, and one to build permanent, supportive housing.
His ideas are innovative and exciting and I’m looking forward to working closely with Mayor Kawakami and all of Kauai County as we strive to eliminate homelessness in our state.

Today I toured the Anahola Marketplace and Micro Enterprise Assistance Program, an open-air market on Hawaiian Homestead land that aims to assist Kauai residents with opening their own small businesses.
Also on site, I learned about a tiny homes initiative for homestead land that would increase the inventory of affordable homes allowing our kupuna to age in place and young adults to buy their own starter homes.

2019 Honolulu Walk to Cure Arthritis
1 in 4 Americans has arthritis.
It is the nation’s leading cause of disability.
2/3 of those affected are under age 65, including 300,000 children.
Today, we marched for a cure.
Today my team and I were on #Molokai with Rep. Lynn DeCoite to learn about the #homeless challenges and #healthcare services on the Friendly Isle.
It was an amazing day. This is truly a very special community and beautiful place.
Mahalo to everyone we met today for being so welcoming and helpful. I can’t wait to come back.
