- Guests may stay for about two hours at a time
- No one who is sick may enter the facility, temperature screening of everyone prior to entering
- Family Promise of Hawaiʻi (FPH) will be partnering with a hotel in Waikiki to temporarily shelter families while other shelters have had to suspend new intakes. The hotel shelter will last for about two months and FPH staff will be on-site to supervise families as well as provide case management.
- Please note that each room has a max occupancy of 4 people so if a family is larger than 4 members, they must have two adults so they can split between two rooms. Also, since we are partnering with a hotel and must follow their rules families must be substance free.
