This will show the community that we are not promoting our programs but working in unity to alleviate homelessness. Some sign examples: “Homeless Not Helpless” “Homelessness Hurts Everyone!” “Homelessness is Everyone’s Problem! “Imagine a Maui where everyone lives in a home!” “Paradise is when everyone lives in a home!” It can happen to anyone!”  Homelessness can
happen to anyone!” “Think about the Keiki! “Doing nothing costs something!” “Doing nothing costs too much!” “Got Shelter? “Got Home?” “Homelessness affects YOU! You can affect Homelessness!” Homeless not Helpless! Me Casa es No Casa!
