At OHA, facilitating collaboration is among its core values. This is critical to the organization’s ability to energize relationships and earn the trust of important community partners. As a result, OHA has built formal relationships with various organizations to help achieve broad, lasting change in the Hawaiian community. Among them was the Native Hawaiian Justice Task Force, which was created by the Hawai‘i Legislature to support comprehensive solutions to concerns about the disproportionate number of Native Hawaiians who are in prison in Hawai‘i and the U.S. At the same time, OHA is working closely with the Nā Limahana o Lonopūhā Native Hawaiian Health Consortium to improve health.
