The city of Honolulu announced it will open a shower and toilet hygiene center on the ground floor of its latest facility to address homelessness — a building in Iwilei that will offer more services than anywhere else in the country, according to Councilman Joey Manahan. The unnamed four-story building on Kuwili Street — in Manahan’s Council district — is designed to include the ground-floor “hygiene center,” a second level of medical services and two top floors of 40 studio apartments for people who would otherwise be living on the street. The hygiene center is expected to open by the end of the year, Mayor Kirk Caldwell said. The entire building is scheduled to be finished by the end of 2019. Video by Bruce Asato
