Problem Statement: Poverty in Oahu, Hawaii Assessment Plan Problem Scope
Hawaii is a paradise; however, living there comes at a cost. Hawaii is notorious for its combination of the high cost of living and individual’s low incomes. Consequently, persons living in Hawaii with modest-to-moderate incomes face hardship. For instance, in terms of consumer goods and services, such as imputed rents of homeowners and housing costs, Hawaii soars as high as 18% higher than the national average. In contrast, New York and California states are high-priced states with 15-16% average prices higher than the national average. It is worth noting that the native Hawaiians have a relatively high poverty rate. For instance, the native Hawaiians are mostly homeless, and more than 200,000 individuals living on the island of Hawaii experience poverty due to the high cost of living. The new market economy introduced by the government has impacted the native Hawaiians greatly since many are not aware of it. The main reason for the failure of the latest market economy is that it does not help the poor native Hawaiians increase their economic base.
Vision Statement
To provide a flourishing economy, diverse and sustainable environment for people to live, work and be a model for global excellence and provide equitable growth opportunities.
Unintended Outcomes/Consequences
Difficulty in public management can result when addressing poverty in Hawaii; This may be caused by a lack of training, technical knowledge, and transparency in the administration; This leads to weak executions of the plans to solve the high costs of living. However, this can be avoided by promoting transparency and accountability, institution-building, and forging institutions that create trust and sustain developmental progress (Tackling the Most Urgent Challenges for the Poorest and Most Vulnerable, n.d.). Effective governance is crucial to reducing poverty in Hawaii.
