Hawai‘i Public Health Institute
Public health institutes are nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing public health practice and making systematic improvements in population health. HIPHI is a member of the National Network of Public Health Institutes (nnphi.org). There are currently over 40 public health institutes across the country and HIPHI is the only institute in Hawai‘i. HIPHI continues to be a bridge between community and partners from government and health care so that all relevant stakeholders throughout the Hawaiian Islands are involved in decisions related to public health policy, programs, and investments.
Consulate General of The Philippines - Honolulu
The proposal aims to provide grants to individuals and organizations to help establish food gardens. Through partnerships, toolkits, training, garden implements and access to seeds will be given. Consul General Fernandez expressed his support to the initiative, as it would address the issues of food self-sufficiency, affordability, and proper nutrition.
Honolulu Recreational Community Gardening Program
The Honolulu Recreational Community Gardening Program (HRCGP) is run by the City and County Department of Parks and Recreation alongside dedicated volunteers to serve 10 community gardens. HRCGP provides plots for people to grow their own foods, herbs, flowers and other plants, and to connect with their neighbors through community-led gardening activities. HRCGP is committed to serving the needs of community members whose recreational needs are not met by athletic, craft, non-active open space, and other traditional park facilities, and especially of those who would not otherwise have access to growing space.
Office of Climate Change, Sustainability and Resiliency
As mandated by the City Charter, the Resilience Office is tasked with tracking climate change science and potential impacts on City facilities, coordinating actions and policies of departments within the City to increase community preparedness, developing resilient infrastructure in response to the effects from climate change, and integrating sustainable and environmental values into City plans, programs, and policies.
