Located on Sand Island, upcycled shipping containers, vibrantly painted in shades of yellow, green, orange, and blue, comprise a Housing Navigation Center that provides temporary housing for clients working toward obtaining permanent housing. Serving up to 50 guests, Hale Mauliola provides shelter for singles and couples. Hale Mauliola is one of just a few shelters on Oahu that allow guests’ furry friends to accompany them. For some, pets play a pivotal role, supporting emotional well-being or being an essential service animal.
A large parking lot fronting the property ensures guests with vehicles can safely park overnight before leaving for work. IHS also provides a complimentary shuttle service, allowing guests to remain self-sufficient.
Hale Mauliola fosters a sense of community among its guests while retaining their independence. There are multiple communal areas where guests can come together including the central hale, zen garden and shaded pavilion, outdoor kitchen, and gray water garden tended by IHS’ Pre-Vocational Taking Root program.
