In this episode of Elevate 808, we’re exploring what it means to build a strong foundation — for our homes, our youth, and our future.
We start with Hawai‘i HomeOwnership Center, an organization helping local families prepare for the journey to homeownership. From budgeting to mortgage prep, their team offers classes and one-on-one coaching to help turn dreams into keys 🔑🏡
Then we meet the ʻohana behind Ekolu Mea Nui, a nonprofit rooted in Native Hawaiian cultural practices and values. Through mentorship and cultural connection, they’re working to transform Hawaiʻi’s justice system and support the next generation of ʻōpio 🌱⚖️
📺 Originally aired on KHON2 on July 20, 2025.
Elevate 808 is a spin-off of Here in Hawaii where we get to know the local small businesses and nonprofits that are making a difference in our communities.
