Increase of the Homeless Population and Homeless Children's Education in Hawaii

Although many people regard the state of 'Hawaii' as a tropical resort island, there has been an increase in the homeless population in the state within the past several years. One of the main purposes of this paper is to investigate the current situation and analyze the reasons for the increase of the homeless population in the state of Hawaii. Furthermore, the author conducted a survey with the purpose of interviewing a homeless family to better understand the current situation. Through the above-mentioned survey, she realized the importance of homeless children's education. In order to solve the educational issues that homeless children are now facing, the state government itself, its staff, NPOs, and volunteers should help them actively in many ways. In the later part of the paper, the author suggests a few remedies and future challenges to help solve the issues.
