Federal Funding Concerns: Resident Austin Salcedo n oted program is federally funded and part of Department of Education. He e xpressed concern that federal funding opens doors to Fair Housing Act obli gations allowing people from all 49 states to come to area\, contributing to overcrowding and lack of local resources (only supermarkets\, fast food \, drugstores—no industry)\, worst traffic congestion\, and trafficking issues. He cautioned board to be careful what they accept.\n2. Number of F amilies Served: Resident Pua asked how many families are supported and abo ut children transitioning primary to secondary school.

Clarification on Housing Services: Board member Meyers asked if McKinne y Vento provides housing for children with housing instability. Cruz clari fied program does NOT provide housing but provides assistance through CHCL s who help access housing applications\, Section 8\, get documentation rep laced—acting as case managers. Financial support includes Holo Holo bus cards to offset costs. CHCLs (Abby Eli and Giana Hurt) go above and beyond helping families for work\, housing\, food distribution\, and recently su pported family that lost house in Nānāpuli fire. Program's scope is prov iding education access so children can focus\, enjoy being children\, and be in safe space. They also do outreach and literacy including summer prog ramming in shelters to prevent learning gaps.\n4. Federal Cutbacks: Board member Meyers asked about potential federal cutbacks and budget impact. Cr uz responded she doesn't know but is crossing fingers and working hard wit h team to reach as many as possible. She believes numbers skyrocketed part ly because they're reaching more people—many like board member Manoa did n't know about all supports available. Will focus on outreach with local\, state\, and community leadership to fight to keep every cent possible.\n5 .

Cruz confirmed they have state education officer/specia list Toby Portner providing supervision alongside her\, plus programming a nd other initiatives.\n6. Child Protection: Board member Tector asked abou t protections for children without parents. Cruz explained they do their b est to connect children to power of attorney or responsible adult able to provide love and support.\n7. Mandated Reporting Protocols: Board member T ector asked about mandated reporting protocols and protections allowing fa milies to stay together. Cruz emphasized number one goal is maintaining fa mily stability and connection. If suspicion of child abuse or danger to se lf/others\, they're mandated to report. CHCLs always consult and confer\, reaching out to troubleshoot before taking next steps. They don't take rep orting lightly but work to maintain stability and safe spaces. Shelter con versation is challenging because shelters don't always house full number o f family members.\n[1:27:08] -- Board member Meyers MOVED to support McKin ney Vento in the Waiʻanae-Moku 96792 area. Board member Cowles SECONDED. Hearing no further discussion\, a voice vote was conducted.

Commitment is economic empowerment and providing local job s (entertainers\, restaurant/retail operators\, cultural offerings). Early cost estimates were $100-160 million in final environmental impact statem ent.\n2. Local Hiring Percentage: Resident Austin Salcedo asked about perc entage of hiring from 96792 district\, noting many area residents already work Waikīkī or downtown and would prefer working closer to home. He ask ed if 50-70% hiring would be from district. Matt Carris explained investme nt is in buildings\, programming\, and operator selection. Have commitment s from local operators to hold job fairs on site advertising to west side and Kapolei. Primary concern is helping transition current 173 employees. Jacob Aki added during broader community engagement\, they met with west s ide economic development council\, Native One Chamber of Commerce\, Kapole i Chamber of Commerce\, and small business owners. While can't set hiring quota\, opportunities will be made to ensure west side residents know abou t job fairs and openings.\n3.

She thanked presenters for coming. She expressed support noting two Paradise Cove emp loyees (husband and wife) from Nānākuli homestead. Wife shared owners ar e close to employees especially long-termers\, and owners told her they've been struggling financially and were supposed to close a couple years ago .

She appre ciates incorporation of local cultural elements similar to Koʻolina outdo or spaces.\n5. Cultural Sensitivity and Native Plants: Board member Tector thanked presenters and recalled attending April 28th town hall and testif ying. She emphasized importance of remaining culturally sensitive to Hawai ian culture and royalty since it's sanctuary where Queen Emma did cleansin g\, fishermen still go out\, and there are plantings. Her late brother Kim o\, late aunt Grandma Cope\, and uncle Joseph Weilla were practitioners wh o spearheaded opening Lanikunuaa and Paradise Cove. She supports project p rovided there's parking\, bus/transportation sensitivity\, and students/co mmunity members are educated and prepared with academics to have credentia ls for workforce opportunities.\n6. Internships and School Performances: B oard member Manoa expressed interest in opportunities for high school or c ollege internships with construction or agencies during and after developm ent. She noted it would be great having venue closer than Neal Blaisdell f or school performances\, mentioning her 5th grade play in January and scho ols performing at Moanalua Gardens Hula Hālau festivity on the 25th.
