Hawaii Homelessness from the Outside Update: Katy Miller
Almost a year ago, we devoted a week to finding out how other cities were working to end homelessness and what Hawaii might learn. One of the people we spoke with was Katy Miller a Regional Coordinator on the National Initiatives team at the US Interagency Council on Homelessness. She is in Honolulu this week and since our original conversation, we wanted to know her assessment of Hawaii’s progress and ongoing challenges.

1776 The Musical at Paliku Theatre: Tom Holowach
Long before the monster hit Hamilton got American singing about a founding fathers take on monetary policy, there was another show clued into the country’s beginnings. Set in the summer of 1776, the colonies are ready to declare independence... if only the founding fathers can agree to do it! "1776" follows John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, plus Richard Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson of Virginia as they attempt to convince the members of the second Continental Congress to vote for independence from the shackles of the British monarchy by signing the Declaration of Independence. If this is all news to you, you're not alone - and it’s why Palikutheatre is bringing back 1776.
