At least two properties in the core downtown Honolulu are under consideration: a parking lot on the ewa side of Mother Waldron Park in Kaka'ako, which is typically vacant at night, and a tract of land fronting Mayor Wright Housing on Liliha Street are under consideration, said Smith, who, along with Lingle, met this morning with social service providers and leaders of a homeless group.

Lingle and Smith met this morning with social service providers and leaders of a homeless group that formed shortly after March 27, when the city began nighttime closures at Ala Moana Beach Park where about 200 people were sleeping nightly.

Many of those homeless individuals are now being fed and sheltered at Central Union Church and Kawaiaha'o Church, but both congregations maintain that they have nearly exhausted their volunteer resources and will stop providing the services at the end of this month.
