Free Medical Care for Hawaii’s Houseless
The first Hawaii H.O.M.E. Project student-run free clinic was established in 2006 at the Kaka’ako Next Step shelter adjacent to the school of medicine. This site was chosen by the state government as a temporary site for the houseless displaced from Ala Moana Park. The project later expanded to the Pai’olu Kaiaulu shelter in Waianae in 2007 and then to the Onemalu and Onelau’ena shelters in Kalaeloa in 2008. We have since expanded our outreach services to include many other sites across the island. To date, the project has had over 16,250 patient visits and has serviced over 5,200 individuals.

Social – We understand that many of our patients need social resources as much as they need medical care. Part of our aim is to serve as the gateway for our patients by connecting them to other community resources.
