Abstract
Description
Hawaiʻi’s housing crisis became unbearable long before COVID-19, and the pandemic’s impending tide of evictions demands that we radically redefine how we think about home. We should look to the movements that seek to loosen the private market’s grip on our homes and to build power among people facing housing insecurity. Instead of understanding housing as a commodity and asset, home can be understood as something inalienable—as ancestor, family, culture, and most importantly, ʻāina.
