Helping Hand - May 27, 2016 complete interview with Family Promise of Hawaii

As the Aloha State continues to be the epicenter of homelessness in the United States, with the single worst homeless epidemic per capita anywhere in the country, Helping Hand welcomes back Family Promise of Hawaii, a program to help families with minor children escape homelessness. HPR ATC Host Dave Lawrence speaks with Executive Director Mary Saunders.

Helping Hand is a weekly feature on HPR1 stations each Friday afternoon as part of All Things Considered and then appearing online here. Each week, Helping Hand puts the spotlight on an organization, topic or event that offers assistance to the disabled and others among the most vulnerable.
