The Prevention-Intervention-Treatment Committee focuses on preventing youth crime and violence in the site by developing partnerships with and engaging area schools, businesses, residents and agencies. One of the committee's strategies is to establish "community hales" (Hawaiian for "home") and/or safe havens within smaller neighborhoods in the site where residents can meet, obtain various services, and work together on projects to foster the building of community and pride.
