Aloha nui kākou!

Congratulations to Native Hawaiian and Indigenous filmmaker Lauren Luke on her outstanding film, Sons Are Not Earthbound, which debuted on October 30 in Kāhala, Oʻahu!

This heartwarming film follows the journey of a young boy as he discovers the importance of connection, letting go, and preserving cherished family memories.

The film features Landon Luke and Hale Kipa’s very own CEO, Kauʻiokawēkiu Rosete-Medeiros.

Mahalo to Lauren Luke for sharing this touching story that celebrates the enduring bonds of family and the memories that connect us.

Follow Sons Are Not Earthbound for updates on where and how to watch the film.

A house soon to become a home in Kona. 🏡

County HHF funding is helping expand Hale Kipa’s Hale Huliʻau Transitional Living Program, creating additional housing opportunities for young adults ages 18–21 experiencing homelessness.

But housing is only the beginning. Through case management, life skills development, employment assistance, and housing support, young adults receive the resources they need to work toward stability and independence.

Investments in programs like Hale Huliʻau strengthen Hawaiʻi’s broader system of care, expand access to essential services, and build long-term community capacity to address youth homelessness.
