Funding Social Services

In the closing weeks of the state Legislature, public officials are doing their part to conserve scarce resources while non-profits in Hawaii are inundated with people who need help. How will Hawaii's human service agencies cope?

Host Dan Boylan leads a panel discussion on the challenges ahead with representatives from the non-profit sector. Panelists include: Joanne Lundstrom, Chair of PHOCUSED (Protecting Hawaii's Ohana, Children, Under-served, Elderly and Disabled); Alan Shinn, the Executive Director of Coalition For A Drug-Free Hawaii; Ruthann Quitiquit, President/CEO of Parents And Children Together; and Kelvin Taketa, the President /CEO of the Hawaii Community Foundation. This conversation was recorded on April 16th, 2009 in the PBS Hawaii studio.
