Hawaiʻi Homelessness & Housing Conference
2026 CONFERENCE THEME:
‘A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia
No task is too big when done together by all
‘A‘ohe hana nui ke alu ‘ia serves as the guiding theme of the Hawaiʻi Homelessness and Housing Conference in 2026. It reflects the collective responsibility and shared commitment of providers, advocates, leaders, and community members working together to address homelessness and advance housing solutions across Hawaiʻi. Through collaboration, partnership, and unity, we affirm that lasting change is possible when we move forward together
By bringing together a diverse array of stakeholders, including government representatives, nonprofit organizations, community leaders, and individuals impacted by housing insecurity, we aim to facilitate dialogue and foster partnerships. The conference will serve as a platform for exchanging ideas, best practices, and actionable recommendations that can inform policy development and implementation at local, regional, and statewide levels.
With unity as our foundation, we can forge innovative strategies, advocate for change, and create a society where every individual has access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

MEET THE HOSTS
As O'ahu's Continuum of Care (CoC), Partners In Care works as a support system for all homeless service providers on the island. Our mission is to end homelessness through collaboration with all stakeholders, including individuals with lived experience. The issues of poverty, mental health care, substance abuse and the lack of affordable housing in Hawaii demand our entire community come together to address them. Through data collection, analysis, evaluation of programs to determine whether they should be funded, we work towards having every resident on O’ahu equal access to affordable and safe housing, and to services that will help them meet their own goals.
PARTNERS IN CARE
Bridging The Gap’s mission is to end homelessness across the Counties of Hawaii, Kauai and Maui through collaborative, coordinated and effective service delivery by agents for change, unified by a common vision where all Hawaii's people have safe, decent, affordable housing. BTG is a group of diverse stakeholders representing the rural counties of Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii that carries out the operating and planning responsibilities of the Continuum of Care, as defined in the HEARTH Act. BTG’s composition reflects the unique nature of each island comprising the CoC. BTG promotes a community-wide commitment to the goals of preventing and ending homelessness by quickly re-housing homeless households while minimizing trauma and dislocation.
