The Honolulu City Council is considering creating hygiene centers where the homeless and others can take a shower, use the restroom, and wash their clothes. City Councilman Joey Manahan is introducing the proposal and stated, "It's a compassionate approach to very basic needs that people have, especially the homeless. Next to having a shelter, people need a place to go to be able to shower, go to the bathroom, do laundry and just get clean." Manahan would like to create several centers in downtown Honolulu, Waikiki and other places where homeless current gather. It is unclear at this point where the funding to build and maintain the hygiene centers will come from.
