HONOLULU – Igloos for the homeless? It’s a new concept a local church is proposing to alleviate the state’s expanding problem.

Pastor Klayton Ko at the First Assembly of God in Red Hill said shelters like these can house Hawai’i’s homeless. It’s a vision he said came from above.
“Lord what can we do as a church to make a difference? And out of that simple prayer the Lord gave me the idea of this shelter,” said Ko.
