Homelessness(无家可归) in Hawaii has grown in recent years, leaving the state with 487 homeless per 100,000 people.

Two days before the city planned to pull off her sidewalk home, Kionina Kaneso had no idea where she and her daughter and grandchildren would sleep. There was no more space for families. “Where can I go?” Kaneso asked. During the last year’s sweeps, Kaneso’s family lost lots of things like the furniture and clothes. But Kaneso still did her best to keep their home clean before leaving.

Her daughter, Kifency Kinney, 24, had to leave her mother because she was an adult. “What’s she going to do? She doesn’t have a job,” Kaneso says. As evening fell the day before the sweep, Kaneso was worried. She and her daughter then began packing chips and clothes into boxes and called a friend with a truck to help them get their things away. On Kaneso’s block, most of her neighbors are friends, they look after each other. They share food and money.

Kaneso arrived in 2004 and did a lot of jobs, such as a dishwasher and a shop worker, to pay for her son’s flight to New York so that he could get medical treatment for a heart condition. “I love my house,” Kaneso said sadly. But the city will sweep it away and they treat us like animals.
