WAILUKU — Homeless residents will be able to seek mental health counseling, noncritical medical care and other services in one location when the Maui Police Department launches its Mobile Medical Educational Unit.
“It’s something that was needed,” said Sgt. Jan Pontanilla, who heads the MPD Critical Outreach and Response through Education, or CORE program, that will work with other groups at the unit.
The services will be offered in a 2007 El Dorado 40-foot bus, donated by the county Department of Transportation, that will be stationed for a month at a time in Kahului, Kihei or Lahaina.
