you'd have to detail your response for me to comprehend the rationale, but the numbers of homeless whom will somehow win with this exercise are minimal, exceedingly so outer-island.
what we've needed forever are the 20,000+ homeless in Hawaii to have minimal / cost effective / personal / permanent / FREE homes with full services for their overt needs. entire new communities of container apts. are far better and should dot the islands, specifically designed to support unique aspects of these mentally / physically / upwardly challenged folks. building / maintaining / servicing these new communities also generates in-state work for islanders. if extended to those housed but financially struggling then it can level off the insane rents and new home prices.
the benefits of modded container homes over standard homes are nearly innumerable and I assure that if they're provided those moving in will make it a real home real fast.
I'm sure you see how such solutions will be condemned by some.
