November 22, 2022

Two nonprofit groups also announced they received $7.5 million to fight family homelessness from a fund set up by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Some two weeks before he is due to be sworn in, Gov.-elect Josh Green said Tuesday that longtime advocate Nani Medeiros will be the state’s new housing chief as his new Cabinet starts to take shape.
The announcement came as two Hawaii nonprofit groups received $7.5 million from a fund set up by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to fight family homelessness.
Medeiros, executive director of HomeAid Hawaii, a nonprofit focusing on homelessness, housing development and community engagement, brings years of experience to the post. She was part of a collaboration involving the state, nonprofits, construction agencies and donors to build 37 tiny homes in West Oahu for people experiencing homelessness.__
“We’re starting to move toward lots of individuals in our Cabinet that will focus on housing, homeless, and partnership with the city,” Green said at a news conference. “We want to begin to move down that road.”
