Homelessness
Hawaii's homeless population is on the rise, and becoming more apparent everywhere around the islands. Without offering any easy solutions, this week's panel will discuss how the problem of homelessness can be addressed. Guests include Russ Saito, State homeless solutions coordinator and Director of the Department of Accounting and General Services; Connie Mitchell, Executive Director of the Institute for Human Services (IHS); Carol Ignacio, Executive Director of the Offices for Social Ministry, Catholic Diocese of Honolulu; and Donavic Totoa, a high school student who lives with her family at a shelter for the homeless. The panel will also field viewer questions and comments sent in via phone, e-mail, Twitter, and live blogging.
Contributing editor Howard Dicus files his weekly "Everybody's Business" report on the state of Hawaii's economy and places the show's topic in an economic context.
