Drug Court housing crisis

From Friday's Maui News:

Drug Court leaders (are) concerned about where to find clean-and-sober housing for clients who don’t have a home or can’t go back to their families.

“Not to have the housing for them is an extreme challenge for us,” said 2nd Circuit Judge Shackley Raffetto, who set up the Maui program and serves as its administrative judge.

. . .

“It’s absolutely essential to have clean-and-sober housing . . . if we expect them to have a real opportunity for recovery,” Raffetto said.
