Makaha residents express unease over a proposed kauhale project aimed at housing at-risk young adults.

A transitional home project for homeless youth in Makaha, Hawaii, spearheaded by nonprofit Helping Hands Hawaii, has encountered a significant roadblock due to community opposition. The project, which aimed to convert a former drug rehabilitation center into a home for up to 16 homeless young adults, faced resistance from local residents who expressed concerns about safety and the impact on the neighborhood.
