What We Believe
HSI believes that by creating more affordable neighborhoods, we can help low-income individuals and families escape poverty and break the cycle of homelessness. When HSI residents are empowered and become contributing members of society, our entire community benefits.
HSI Funding
Eight-nine percent of HSI’s operating funds come from tenant rents and fees for managing low income housing projects, and eleven percent is from private foundations and donations. For every dollar HSI receives, ninety-four cents goes directly to housing and program services.
Corporate History
HSI has provided both transitional and long-term affordable housing on O‘ahu for more than thirty-five years.
From a single emergency shelter in 1986, the organization has grown to a network of 16 properties with eight hundred eighty apartments.
In its early years, HSI specialized in operating homeless shelters that provided supportive social services. Today, it focuses on managing properties that provide safe, affordable and permanent housing so residents can lead more productive, healthy and meaningful lives.
Community Recognition
HSI received Pacific Business News’ Cades Schutte Nonprofit Leadership Award in 2011.
