DIRECT AID

At Pukalani Nazarene Compassion Village, we understand that even when stable housing is not immediately available, individuals and families in need still require immediate support. Through our Direct Aid program, we identify those facing housing insecurity and provide them with essential resources to help them navigate their current challenges. This may include financial assistance for basic needs, food, clothing, transportation, and emergency medical care. Our goal is to offer a lifeline to those in crisis, ensuring that they have the tools and support they need to survive and eventually thrive, even as we work towards securing long-term housing solutions for them.

HOUSING/ PREVENTION

In response to the growing housing crisis, the Housing/Prevention program at Pukalani Nazarene Compassion Village provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness. Our program offers transitional housing with the goal of preventing people from falling onto the streets. Residents, or "neighbors" as we call them, have access to comprehensive onsite services, including counseling, social services, and transportation assistance. We also provide opportunities for self-sufficiency through onsite gardening and other empowerment programs. By addressing both immediate housing needs and the underlying factors that contribute to housing insecurity, we work to create a pathway toward stability and independence for each person we serve.

SATELLITE HOMES/ RENT STABILITY

This program expands the reach of Pukalani Nazarene Compassion Village by providing additional flexible housing options for individuals and families in need. Through this initiative, we source reasonable rental properties and lease them on behalf of the program, ensuring the full rental price is covered. Participants in the Satellite Homes program pay the same affordable rate as those residing in our onsite housing, allowing them to maintain stability while working toward self-sufficiency. These homes offer more variety in housing options, giving neighbors a sense of autonomy while still benefiting from the comprehensive support available onsite, including access to counseling, social services, transportation, and community-building opportunities. The Satellite Homes program is designed to empower individuals to transition into permanent housing with confidence, surrounded by the resources and guidance needed for lasting success.

OUTREACH

At Pukalani Nazarene Compassion Village, our commitment to serving the community extends beyond those within our programs to include individuals and families already experiencing homelessness. Through our Outreach program, we actively engage with those living on the streets or in temporary shelters by bringing support directly to them through our mobile ministry unit. These regular outreach efforts help bridge the gap by offering immediate assistance, whether through food, supplies, or connections to essential services. By meeting people where they are, we aim to build trust and provide a pathway for those in crisis to access the resources they need, while encouraging them to seek a more stable, supportive living environment. Our outreach efforts are a vital part of our mission to ensure that no one in our community is left behind.
