Honolulu (HawaiiNewsNow) - Accorrding to the 2012 Point-in-Time Count, there are nearly 6,300 homeless across the state.
A proposed house bill would establish a program that helps those not from Hawaii return to their home state and reconnect with their family.
State Representative Rida Cabanilla is proposing House Bill 533, which establishes the 'Return-to-Home' program and is seeking $100,000 in appropriations to fund the endeavor.
"It's (the program) only for select individuals that can really benefit from the program, meaning they have support services, they want to go home, but they can't go home," Cabanilla said. "That sort of stuff."
Under the bill, participants would receive financial assistance to pay for their transportation and there will also be follow-up to make sure they have a stable support system.

I wish we had something like that here in mexifornia, but just for illegals..
If I had to be down and out, I’d want to be down and out in Hawaii.
T-shirt, shorts, flip-flops, sunglasses, beach mat, blanket, worship and food at a church, toilet and shower at a beach park, free computer and Internet at a library — you’d be all set. Tempted?
I’d like a plan to send Liberal (commie) Californians out of Oregon and Washington....
Let’s see how this works out for Hawaii.
Is that a fact? Californians have messed up your state of Oregon? If it wasn’t for retired Cali-state folks, you wouldn’t have a state. By the by, your liberals are state grown.
I am sick of Hawaii being a “state” and still keeping up with you don’t belong here because you are not from here.

If we kicked out Hawaii from the Union, would that also remove hussein from MY white house?
What if the “homeless” don’t want to return to their “families” but enjoy their existence in Hawaii, the nice weather, the beaches and the socialist benefits that the state offers? Hawaii does have a certain appeal as a place to be homeless...better than, for instance, Fargo or NYC.
NOT ALL...Californians...the LIBERAL ones....if you ain’t one, don’t take offense....sheesh.
