     HOMELESS TO BE MOVED OUT OF MAUI BEACH PARK

WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) _ Some 70 people living at Maui's Kanaha
Beach Park campgrounds will be forced to move out by Feb. 9.

Mayor James Apana said the homeless population living at the
site has created unsanitary conditions, and the state Health
Department has recommended closing the park for two months.

The county plans to level the campground area, clean the
restrooms and repair facilities. Apana said the area will be
sanitized and certified by the state as being free from health
risks before the grounds are reopened.

People camping at the park are being notified about the closure
this week and offered information about social services.

But a tight housing market threatens to make Maui's homeless
problem worse. Apana said the proposed $3.5 million West Maui
Homeless Center in Lahaina should help some.

Apana also is talking with the Kahului Salvation Army about
opening a center to provide temporary food and shelter for the
homeless in Central Maui.
