Posted July 25, 2022

Mayor Derek Kawakami attended the blessing for the completion of the Mana Olana Emergency and Transitional Shelter Improvements Project at Kaua`i Economic Opportunity in Lihue, this past Friday.

“These improvements provide the foundation for KEO’s future expansion of their emergency and transitional homeless shelter, allowing them to increase available shelter beds and transitional housing units which is much needed on Kaua`i,” Kawakami said.
