"One-Stop Shop" for Hawaii's Houseless & People in Need of Help. Hawaii Dream Service Center

HDSC Campus

MONEY RAISING GOAL - HDSC's goal in raising money is to apply for grants, receive donations and to become self-sustainable in three years.  However, we will take in community donations of food, clothes, appliances, and other items at any time.  Monetary donations will always be welcomed.

NOTE FOR ALL BUILDINGS:  HDSC will be able to serve as a "Civil Defense Site" to house thousands of people in the event of a natural disaster such as "Katrina."  Because we are located in a "safe area" 20,000 plus people could find safe shelter on our campus from hurricanes, tsunami, etc.  All of our building will be built to withstand hurricane force winds and strong earthquakes.  We are also a "Go Green" site.
