Honolulu funds bridge housing through the HONU mobile navigation center, Punawai Rest Stop, and Joint Outreach Center, partnering with IHS and other Continuum of Care providers to transition unsheltered residents into permanent housing.
The City and County of Honolulu operates rotating HONU (Homeless Outreach and Navigation for Unsheltered Persons) sites across Oahu, offering temporary shelter, hygiene services, case management, and pathways to permanent supportive housing. Punawai Rest Stop in Iwilei provides 24-hour hygiene and storage. Bridge housing stays are typically 90 days, contingent on engaging case management. Federal Housing First principles guide referrals through the Continuum of Care coordinated entry system, prioritizing chronically homeless individuals and families with children.
Disruptive conduct, weapons, or drug activity on bridge housing premises results in immediate exit and possible trespass citation under HRS 708-814 if a returner refuses to leave.
