Honolulu homeless project to welcome residents around Thanksgiving

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell, left, and director of housing Marc Alexander speak during a news conference to celebrate the construction completion of the Punawai Rest Stop studio apartments in Iwilei on Tuesday. The first floor hygiene center has been operating for two years. But the first permanent residents are expected to move into 21 studio apartments on the third and fourth floors — intended as permanent housing with social service case management — by the end of the month, Caldwell said.
