At Hale Kipa, we provide more than housing — we offer healing. As a trusted domestic violence shelter in Hawaʻi, our Residential Services create safe, supportive environments where youth can recover, grow, and thrive.
Whether transitioning from trauma or facing crisis, our programs deliver stability, life skills, and a clear path forward. From emergency shelters to long-term support, we meet each young person where they are — and help them move toward a stronger future.
When young people face abuse, neglect, homelessness, or crisis, Hale Kipa’s O’ahu shelters offer a lifeline. We provide immediate, short-term care for youth ages 12-17, offering a safe space and support to begin healing. We’re here for self-referrals and work with various agencies to get youth the help they urgently need.
