Hawai'i Island Nonprofit Humanity Hale Seeks Land for Youth Transitional Housing Expansion

Hawai'i Island Nonprofit Humanity Hale Seeks Land for Youth Transitional Housing Expansion

Humanity Hale, a Hawai'i Island nonprofit established in 2019, is actively seeking land to develop transitional housing for youth aging out of foster care. The organization, which provides culturally grounded preventative care including education, therapy, life skill development, and mentorship, has raised $500,000 for land acquisition, with over $100,000 secured at a recent gala. According to Charis Higginson, founder and executive director, the goal is to prevent homelessness and addiction among this vulnerable demographic, as current transitional housing options on Hawai'i Island's west side are scarce. Humanity Hale aims to acquire three to five acres to build not only transitional housing but also a community center and a group foster home.

Swedish Government Report Projects Four Million Population Decline by 2100

Swedish Government Report Projects Four Million Population Decline by 2100

A new report commissioned by the Swedish government indicates that Sweden's population could decrease by four million people by the year 2100. This potential demographic shift is attributed to a combination of factors: low migration rates, a declining birth rate, and an increasing elderly population. Åsa Hansson, an associate professor of economics and the lead author of the report, highlighted to SR Ekot that isolating the effect of a shrinking population would have significant consequences for the Swedish economy. The report suggests that proactive measures are needed to address these trends, particularly focusing on supporting young adults in Sweden to mitigate the long-term economic impact.
