Area legislators Chun Oakland, Fukunaga and Rhoads joined Downtown-Nuuanu retailers in discussions with representatives from Honolulu Police Department, Institute for Human Services, and other homeless services organizations to pursue targeted actions to reduce the level of homeless drug-dealing, other illegal activity and harassment reported by retailers in the Nuuanu-Hotel Street area. We are also assisting Mental Health Kokua/Safe Haven staff in tackling recent assaults by homeless individuals against their staff, as well as working with Department of Parks and Recreation and the Nuuanu YMCA to improve public safety in Kamamalu Park. Stay tuned for more updates!
