Housing & Transportation
*Please be aware that housing scams are common. Do not give away any personal information or put down a deposit before verifying that the rental unit is legitimate. If you are going to see a place, always bring someone with you and try to verify the property owner/manager's identity beforehand.
Tips:

Word-of-mouth & community connections are sometimes the best places to find an 'ohana cottage (small private unit separate from the main house on a property)
-
Flyers for housing can be posted at community grocery stores, rec centers, cafes, etc.
