HRS §346-362
Duties of the Department of Human Services
This section says the Department of Human Services must run homeless shelters and programs, create new homeless programs, and do whatever else is needed. It must also make rules for these programs, but those rules skip normal public notice, hearings, and governor approval, and start right away when filed.
