HUI MAHI‘AI ‘ĀINA
Homeless Community Program
A Path for the Homeless in Hawai‘i
Hui Mahi‘ai ‘Āina (HMA) is a homeless community program that provides village style housing, essential facilities, and long-term support for those facing hard times in Hawai‘i.
A Village of Hope in Waimānalo
Founded by Aunty Blanche McMillan with the support of her family, volunteers, local partners and ministries, the founding HMA Waimānalo site features tiny houses for individuals and families, a food farm and communal kitchen, as well as visiting health, entertainment and social services.
A Model Shelter Solution for the Islands
After five years of devoted service to the community, Hui Mahi‘ai is now inspiring additional long-term shelter solutions for our homeless ‘ohana across Hawai‘i.
