Pu'uhonua o Wai'anae (Refuge of Wai'anae) is a homeless community of around 200 near Wai'anae Boat Harbor and is the largest homeless encampment on O’ahu, HI. The Village, as the residents call it, although run according to some of the same rules as a homeless shelter, is community-led and intends to foster a safe environment through community for children and families who would otherwise struggle against addiction, medical issues, homelessness, or a combination of the three. In response to local complaints and state announcements of plans to clear the encampment, the leadership of Pu'uhonua o Wai'anae decided to move to a private plot of agricultural land and set up a new kauhale (homestead) village featuring permanent tiny homes, running water, electricity, farming, and communal kitchens
