FAQs
-
The Hale Pono Maui Youth Shelter is a short-term sanctuary for youth in need of support. Our ultimate goal is family reunification or effective long-term placement solution (foster care, long-term shelter, placement with extended family, etc.)
Along with this primary goal of reunification and long-term placement for teens, The Hale Pono Shelter serves as a hub for connecting teens and families with vital programs and services, offered by both the shelter itself (through our drop-in and outreach programs), and through referrals to other programs and services in the community.
-
Shelter services are free of charge. At Hale Pono, our goal is to provide safe, supportive short-term care for Maui’s youth while working alongside families toward stability and next steps.
We serve each youth and family for as long as the placement remains supportive and appropriate. For longer-term stays, families may be asked to contribute toward the cost of care when possible.
