Requesting The Department Of Human Services To Report On The Cultural And Therapeutic Services Provided By Community-based Organizations At The Kawailoa Youth And Family Wellness Center.
Impact
The resolution emphasizes the importance of community-based support centers, especially for 'opportunity youth'—those aged 16 to 24 who are not enrolled in school or employed. Such centers have been shown to significantly reduce incarceration rates and instances of homelessness among these youths. By focusing on therapeutic and cultural services tailored to Native Hawaiian practices, the bill advocates for effective approaches that potentially lead to better outcomes in youth wellness and societal reintegration for formerly incarcerated individuals.
Summary
SCR175 is a Senate Concurrent Resolution requesting the Department of Human Services in Hawaii to report on the cultural and therapeutic services provided by community-based organizations at the Kawailoa Youth and Family Wellness Center. This resolution aims to address pressing social issues such as homelessness, poverty, and mental health, particularly among youth, as these problems are significant for the state. Notably, a concerning statistic indicates that around ten percent of Hawaii's homeless population consists of individuals under eighteen years of age, highlighting the necessity for targeted interventions.
Contention
A point of contention surrounding SCR175 lies in the expectations for the Department of Human Services to provide a comprehensive report detailing not just the positive effects of existing programs but also potential strategies for expanding state and private collaboration. This collaborative approach may help mitigate youth homelessness and the detrimental impacts of incarceration. The necessity for this holistic strategy indicates a move towards more integrated systems of support, although discussions may arise about resource allocation and the effectiveness of cultural methodologies.
