"BE HONEST WITH US FROM THIS DAY ON"
Honolulu Civil Beat - March 16, 2018
Support for a well-established homeless encampment at the Wai`anae Boat Harbor and frustration at state government were the themes of the night Thursday as about 100 people turned out for a Wai`anae Coast Neighborhood Board meeting also attended by Mike McCartney, Gov. David Ige’s chief of staff.
Community members complained about what they saw as a lack of transparency in the state’s efforts to create a plan for the camp, and said they want to see community leaders take the lead in helping the residents.
Speakers requested the state help those living at the camp, known as Pu`uhonua O Wai`anae, with trash pickup, access to bathrooms and by turning the water back on at a spigot at the harbor.
McCartney apologized for the mixed signals sent by state officials this month regarding the encampment.
At the last neighborhood board meeting March 6, residents were told by state homeless coordinator Scott Morishige and Pua Aiu of the Department of Land and Natural Resources that the encampment would be swept away by May or June.
In an about-face Tuesday, the governor assured leaders of the homeless community of about 200 people that they would not be evicted from state-owned land controlled by the Department of Land and Natural Resources. And on Wednesday, he said his office was looking for vacant land in Wai`anae where the community can relocate to.
The governor also said there is no federal grant application pending to build a marine education center on the site, as the officials indicated March 6.
“Be honest with us from this day on,” said Twinkle Borge, longtime leader of Pu`uhonua. “You guys totally wrecked my life. You guys gave me anxiety, many sleepless nights.”
McCartney blamed the confusion on miscommunications and pledged to work with the community moving forward.
He said there will be no presentation to the Board of Land and Natural Resources about plans for the marine education center at the board’s meeting March 23, as was announced at the previous neighborhood board meeting.
Borge and James Pakele, a Wai`anae resident and Pu`uhonua volunteer, asked to be involved in meetings with the administration moving forward.
The conflicting messages from state officials in recent days were brought up frequently Thursday by community members, including Republican state Rep. Andria Tupola of Nanakuli, a candidate for governor.
“To come here and talk about a federal grant and then all of a sudden this week it never even existed; that is not something our community should have to put up with,” Tupola said....

$$$ BEHIND STATEʻS PUSH TO SWEEP HOUSELESS CAMP
Honolulu Star-Advertiser - March 10, 2018
The residents of a large homeless encampment near the Wai`anae Small Boat Harbor say they are agitated and worried about their future after state officials publicly announced this week that they would be working to close the camp in the coming months.
“My nights have been very sleepless,” said Twinkle Borge, leader of the Pu`uhonua o Wai`anae community, which sits on 19.5 acres of state land between Wai`anae High School and the harbor.
Another leader, Loke Chung-Lono, said Wednesday that the camp’s residents are confused and scared.
“They don’t know where they are going. They don’t know what’s going to happen,” Chung-Lono said.
The announcement about the state’s impending action came Tuesday at the Wai`anae Coast Neighborhood Board meeting, where officials talked about developing a marine science learning center where the camp is now, Borge said.
The plan is to move the encampment by early June, she said, apparently because the state faces a deadline for obtaining federal funds and the land needs to be cleared and restored before officials can apply for the money.
But Borge, who has been in ongoing talks with state officials regarding the camp’s future, said the announcement was made prematurely as she was promised more time to help come up with a solution.
She said the community, which has become a formal nonprofit organization, is searching for another piece of land to where it can relocate. But moving some 169 people, 133 camps and 148 dogs, among other things, is going to take a lot more time, she said, perhaps six months or up to a year.
At the very least, she said, state officials promised to give the campers plenty of notice before making the announcement.
“Where’s the trust?” Borge said.
Scott Morishige, the governor’s homeless coordinator, turned down an interview request and instead issued this statement:
“The Governor’s office and the Department of Land and Natural Resources are in discussion with Twinkle and other leaders of Pu`uhonua o Wai`anae regarding a transition plan. We have made a commitment with Twinkle and the leaders of the Pu`uhonua not to comment on plans in the media.”
‘Safe-zone’ Model
There was a time when state and city lawmakers looked at the Pu`uhonua o Wai`anae community as a potential model for what government-sanctioned homeless “safe zones” could look like across the islands.
A bill was even introduced in the state House of Representatives this year that would have prevented the state from sweeping away the camp.
But officials with the state Department of Land and Natural Resources, which owns the parcel and the boat harbor, have said there have been mounting complaints and that the agency needs to address serious issues regarding hygiene, rubbish, excessive water use at the harbor and the destruction of natural and cultural resources.
The bill to protect the encampment was tabled after representatives received assurances from the governor’s office it was working with the Wai`anae folks on a plan to move them into transitional or permanent housing.
State Rep. Cedric Gates, whose West Oahu district includes Pu`uhonua o Wai`anae, told colleagues at the time it was important to avoid compounding the homeless problem on the Wai`anae Coast and elsewhere by sweeping or removing the people from the encampment.
“The plan right now is to work closely with the governor’s office to develop a comprehensive plan on how we will transition these families into transitional housing as well as permanent housing, because I think that’s the goal for that encampment — to get people housed,” said Gates (D, Wai`anae-Makaha-Makua).
Borge said the people of the camp were disappointed with Tuesday’s announcement.
She said she’s afraid it will lock the state into their plan — without giving the Pu`uhonua o Wai`anae nonprofit a chance to find a new location for the camp.
“We’ve been in talks with them for two years,” Borge said. “During the meetings it was always their way or no way.”
She denied claims that the camp’s residents were abusing the land.
Meanwhile, Chung-Lono, an eight-year resident of the camp, said her neighbors are on edge.
“There’s a lot of us here that call this home,” she said. “It’s hard. This gave me a sense of belonging, some kind of purpose to live.
“If they sweep us out of here before they even secure a piece of land that we want to go to … it’s going to be looking like Kaka`ako on the sidewalk out there,” she said, pointing to Farrington Highway. “We are not Kaka`ako. We are Wai`anae. We are a village of people that care about our community.”

FIGHTING FOR HAWAI`IʻS HOUSELESS
Honolulu Civil Beat - February 14, 2018
The state has no immediate plans to clear out a well-established homeless encampment near the Wai`anae Boat Harbor, according to state homeless coordinator Scott Morishige.
But community members and residents of Pu`uhonua O Wai`anae fear a sweep is increasingly likely.
About 15 of them gathered at the Capitol on Wednesday to defend the camp after recent criticism from some city and state leaders.
“The village is a safe and stable place to live,” said Twinkle Borge, the camp’s leader.
“We want to dialogue with people to make a decision about our future. We want to keep our `ohana together as much as possible. We are open to exploring all options including relocation.”
She said more than half of the roughly 200 camp residents are Native Hawaiian.
Many of the people who gathered Wednesday had planned to attend a House Health and Human Services Committee hearing to testify on a measure that would have exempted people living in the camp, which is on state land, from criminal trespassing laws.
But on Tuesday, committee Chair Rep. John Mizuno pulled HB 2754 from the hearing agenda. He was not immediately available for comment Wednesday afternoon.
Rep. Della Au Bellati, who introduced the bill, said even though it was tabled for the session, the measure generated important discussions about what the state should do about the encampment.
Borge said people in the camp are often blamed for crime, vandalism and dumping trash in the area, including dumping human waste into Pokai Bay.
“Pokai Bay is a far walk from Wai`anae Boat Harbor,” Borge said. “Nobody is walking down Farrington with their buckets of waste and pouring it into the bay.”
Morishige and Rep. Cedric Gates, who represents Wai`anae, both support plans to move people living on the land elsewhere, provided they receive advance notice and that permanent or transitional housing options are offered.
“It’s been clear that at some point there will be a transition of people out of that area,” Morishige said. “That won’t occur without prior notice.”
Morishige said the state has long offered outreach services to people who live in the camp.
He said the site on land controlled by the Department of Land and Natural Resources isn’t appropriate for an encampment because human activity might impact the natural resources there, including a rare shrimp found in ponds in the area.
Borge said she asked the DLNR to bring a biologist to the camp to teach residents how to protect the shrimp.

HAWAI`I NEWS NOW - STATE BLOCKS CNN STORY ABOUT WAI`ANAE HOUSELESS
Hawaii News Now - December 22, 2017
The leader of Waianae's largest homeless village was hoping a film production crew working on a show for CNN would help tell their story to the world – until the crew's application for a one-day filming permit was denied by the state.
"They were going to bring more awareness to see if we can get more help out there, like sponsors and what not," said Twinkle Borge, the leader of Puuhonua O Waianae.
The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources objected to the film crew giving the Waianae homeless camp national publicity, saying the following in a statement:
"I was kind of angry when they told me they got denied," Borge said. "We have been here this long and all of a sudden it's a problem and you want to take it from us? Shame on you."
The state also claimed that the 16-person film crew would have had an impact on opae'ula, a protected species of tiny red shrimp which live in deep sinkholes around the camp. Borge, though, says it's the campers who have taken on responsibility for the animal's sustainability in the area.
"I believe they used that as an excuse," she said.
It's not the first time Borge has perceived that the state is attempting to push the homeless out. In October, state officials closed certain water spigots at the Waianae Small Boat Harbor for a road repaving project, causing the struggling families to find new supplies of water.
In an email to Hawaii News Now, the state said it had "no obligation to provide services to people camping illegally on state property."
The camp has the support of many in the Waianae community, including the neighborhood board.
"We're trying to play ball and we are trying to do everything to show we're willing to abide by the rules, but the state is not allowing that to happen for us to remain there," said Marc Paaluhi, a supporter of Puuhonua O Waianae.
The state refused Hawaii News Now's request for an interview on the status of the camp for this story. The film company that was denied a permit did not respond to our calls.

The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources objected to the film crew giving the Waianae homeless camp national publicity, saying the following in a statement:
"Bringing attention to this area on a national level has the possibility of suggesting that the State is okay with the current human occupation on this property, and while we continue to be in discussions with various parties about this property and its future use, at the moment we are not interested in the possibility of people living there being inaccurately or inappropriately portrayed to a national television audience."Borge feels the censorship is part of an effort to force the camp to close.
"I was kind of angry when they told me they got denied," Borge said. "We have been here this long and all of a sudden it's a problem and you want to take it from us? Shame on you."
