"Working with other homeless service providers, our Outreach team has established protocols to respond to public referrals throughout Oahu. You may refer clients through the IHS HELP line by emailing [e-mail] or calling 808-447-2800 to provide detailed information about unsheltered clients you encounter needing help.
