Problem:(CNN) Hawaii is a place many go to kick back, relax and enjoy the good life. 
  
 But for others, it's a land of struggle. 
  
 That's why its governor on Friday signed an emergency proclamation to tackle homelessness in the state, saying the measure will help turn around the lives of young and old. 
  
 "Homelessness remains a serious issue in every county throughout the state," Gov. David Ige said in a press release. 
  
 Hawaii has an estimated 7,620 homeless people, said the governor's spokeswoman Cindy McMillan, citing a 2015 statewide count. This may not seem like much compared with other places -- to this point California has about 114,000 homeless, New York has more than 80,000 and Texas about 28,500, according to the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness -- but it's all relative to the state's total population. 
  
 At 465 people per 100,000 citizens, the Aloha State has the highest rate of homelessness per capita of any of the 50 states, according to Scott Morishige, the governor's point person on this issue. Hawaii's population is about 1.36 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. 
  
 "The alarming increase in unsheltered individuals and families over the past two years is particularly significant on Oahu," Morishige said of the state's most populous island. "This proclamation will expedite the state's plans to help these individuals and families to more quickly transition to permanent housing." 
  
 Specifically, the emergency proclamation allows the spending of over $1.3 million to fund homeless services and help set up permanent homes for families and the chronically homeless. The latter effort will include building a transitional housing facility for homeless families. 
  
 "The biggest deficit in the system is shelter space for families," Ige told reporters. 
  
 While governments' emergency proclamations are often linked to natural disasters or other such calamities, they have been used before to address more systemic issues like homelessness. 
  
 Last month, for instance, the Los Angeles City Council declared a state of emergency on homelessness and called for $100 million to address the crisis. Figures from the L.A. Homeless Services Authority found that homelessness had increased 12% in two years in the Southern California city. 
  
 "We all understand the urgency that this situation requires, and what is at stake," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said then. "... If we can lift up those in need, and pick up those left behind, then we can live up to the best of our ideals." ||||| HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii Gov. David Ige has declared a state of emergency to deal with the state's homelessness crisis just days after city and state officials cleared one of the nation's largest homeless encampments.

 The move will help the state speed up the process of building a homeless shelter for families, and the state is considering four possible sites, Ige said at a news conference Friday. 
  
 "We are making sure that we have options for those who are homeless to move into an emergency shelter, and the biggest deficit in the system is shelter space for families," Ige said. "So the emergency proclamation would allow us to stand up shelters for families in an expeditious manner." 
  
 Hawaii saw a 23 percent increase in its unsheltered homeless population between 2014 and 2015, and a 46 percent increase in the number of unsheltered families, said Scott Morishige, state homelessness coordinator. 
  
 There were 7,260 homeless people in Hawaii at the latest count, meaning Hawaii has the highest rate of homelessness per-capita of any state in the nation. 
  
 The state has identified $1.3 million to expand services to homeless individuals and families, Morishige said. In addition to a new shelter, the money also would go to the state's Housing First program, which provides homes and services to chronically homeless individuals without requiring them to get sober or treat mental illness first, and programs that help families pay deposits and rent. 
  
 The new transitional shelter the state is envisioning would house about 15 families at a time, Morishige said. Two of the sites under consideration are in Kakaako, the neighborhood where the large homeless encampment was cleared, and the other sites are in Liliha and near Sand Island. 
  
 The recent clearing of the Kakaako homeless encampment could be used as a model in other parts of the state, Ige said. By coordinating with service providers, more than half of the estimated 300 residents of the encampment, including 25 families, were moved into shelters and permanent housing, the governor said. 
  
 "They definitely are off the streets and in a better situation where we are in a position to provide them services that will help us move them permanently out of the state of homelessness," Ige said. 
  
 Meanwhile on Friday, crews were installing converted shipping containers for Honolulu's latest homeless shelter on a gravel lot on Sand Island. The rooms in the first units were designed for couples and are 73 square feet. 
  
 "If they're living in tents now, the individual units are going to be just as large or larger," said Chris Sadayasu, asset management administrator for the Honolulu Office of Strategic Development. 
  
 The rooms, which were made from new shipping containers, each have a window and a screen door for ventilation. The structures are insulated, and the roofs have white reflective coating, and an awning will provide shade for relaxing outside, said Russ Wozniak, an architect and engineer from Group 70, an architecture firm. The coating and insulation keep the units about 30 degrees cooler than they would otherwise be, Wozniak said. 
  
 "It's kind of as comfortable as you can get without mechanical air conditioning," Wozniak said. 
  
 A trailer on-site holds five bathrooms that each have a toilet and shower, and there's a separate portable toilet and shower that are accessible to the disabled. 
  
 When completed in December, the shelter in an industrial part of Honolulu will temporarily house up to 87 clients at a time. ||||| GOVERNOR’S OFFICE NEWS RELEASE: Governor Ige signs emergency proclamation to address homelessness statewide Newsroom, Press Releases Posted on Oct 16, 2015 in Latest News 
  
 HONOLULU – Gov. David Ige today signed an emergency proclamation that enables the state to quickly funnel money toward the facilitation of: (1) rapid construction of a temporary shelter for homeless families; (2) the immediate extension of existing contracts for homeless services; and (3) an immediate increase in funding for programs that promote immediate housing. 
  
 State funds of more than $1.3 million were identified this month, paving the way for the emergency proclamation. The monies will serve an additional 1000 homeless individuals between now and July 31, 2016, providing increased funding for homeless services and programs that promote permanent housing for families and the chronically homeless. 
  
 The emergency proclamation will also facilitate the construction of a transitional housing facility for homeless families. The facility will be temporary and have a clear sunset date. 
  
 The state, city, federal governments and various service providers have worked together to place 158 individuals and 25 families from Kaka‘ako into shelters since the effort began in early August. That’s 54 percent of homeless individuals surveyed in Kaka‘ako in early August and more than 80 percent of the families surveyed. 
  
 “The lesson learned is that great things can be accomplished when we all work together. Despite the recent success of enforcement efforts in the Kaka’ako Makai area, homelessness remains a serious issue in every county throughout the state. We plan to replicate the Kaka’ako model as we work to address homelessness in communities across the state,” said Gov. David Ige. 
  
 “There’s still much work to do. Hawai‘i has the highest rate of homelessness per capita among the 50 states, with an estimated 465 homeless individuals per 100,000. The alarming increase in unsheltered individuals and families over the past two years is particularly significant on O‘ahu. This proclamation will expedite the state’s plans to help these individuals and families to more quickly transition to permanent housing,” said Scott Morishige, Governor’s Coordinator on Homelessness.

Solution:
Hawaii has declared a state of emergency to deal with a homelessness problem that has exploded over the last couple of years. With an estimated 7,620 homeless people amid a population of 1.36 million, the state has the worst homeless problem per capita in the US, according to a statement from the governor's office, which describes the move as a way of securing funds to help people immediately. Gov. David Ige says the emergency proclamation will help homeless people throughout the state, especially homeless families, which he says face the "biggest deficit in the system," CNN reports. The state has seen an "alarming increase in unsheltered individuals and families" over the last two years, according to the governor's office. The move came just days after the clearance of the Kakaako homeless encampment in Honolulu, which was one of the largest in the country, the AP reports. On Friday, the same day the emergency declaration was signed, crews were already at work installing converted shipping containers at the site of a new Honolulu shelter. "If they're living in tents now, the individual units are going to be just as large or larger," a spokesman for the Honolulu Office of Strategic Development tells the AP. (Los Angeles declared a homeless emergency last month.)
