Lighthouse Outreach Center

Lighthouse Outreach Center
located at 94-230 Leokane Street
in Waipahu has been a safe haven to
many homeless individuals and families
since October 1, 2006

 

The shelter sleeps over 120 individuals and
is open daily from 5:30 pm to 7:30 am.

Guests are provided with an evening meal
and lockers for personal items.

 

The shelter also provides social services to aid our guests with rental assistance, medical issues, and life skills such as budgeting.

The goal of Lighthouse Outreach Center is to move our guests out of the shelter to temporary housing, alleviating worries of day-to-day existence, and allowing planning for the future.
