Clean and Safe program and Holomua Road gates funding
Maui County
Summary
Testifier Lisa Darcy urged the committee to pause over $1 million for the Clean and Safe homeless program — calling it criminalizing rather than solving — and to rethink $750,000 for gates on Holomua Road. Staff noted $4.7 million total is budgeted for houseless programs.

Impact analysis
Over $1 million for Clean and Safe and $750,000 for gates are at issue within roughly $4.7 million in houseless program funding.
If redirected, unsheltered residents and neighborhoods seeking real solutions could benefit.
Darcy argues the current approach criminalizes people with serious mental illness and displaces problems at greater public cost.
