Addiction Recovery

Ridding addiction requires a desire to do so and the right support system. We focus on giving men and women great homes in great suburban neighborhoods to help them start over. Currently, most recovery housing is found in the worst parts of town. It is hard to change your life when you are back in the same environment. We have high expectations of the men and women who move into the Hale Kokua Foundation’ homes. They self-improved in prison or in recovery and they plan to keep at it.

Veterans

Most Veterans struggle with a disability, either physical, mental, or emotional. We say THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE by providing a loving environment, with opportunities for activities on site and off site. Veterans between the ages of 18 and 30 are twice as likely as adults in the general population to be homeless, and the risk of homelessness increases significantly among young veterans who are poor.

Foster Kids Aging Out

They usually have no place to go and they are not equipped to handle adulthood in the best possible way. Per Elisabeth Balistreri’s article, 23,000 children age out of foster care annually, instantly losing access to nearly every form of support. 20% become instantly homeless. Less than 3% earn a college degree by age 26. Only 50% find employment by age 24. 60% of young women who age out end up in the sex industry. 70% of young women are pregnant by 21. 25% of youth who age out are dealing with PTSD. 90% of youth with 5 or more foster placements will enter the criminal justice system. These children are struggling with intense emotional turmoil and trauma, and maladaptive behaviors are often attempts at coping with the loss and fear they’re experiencing.
