From Hawaii- (with video)A month ago, St. Elizabeth's Episcopal Church in Kalihi invited a pregnant woman and her boyfriend to move into a converted shipping container in the church's parking lot.
It's nothing fancy but better than the sidewalk Jerome Pannell and his girlfriend, Marie Kane, were used to sleeping on.
"It fits four bunk beds, a desk, and a small table," Pannell said.
St. Elizabeth's brought in the container in June, and the the couple are the second family to be housed in the converted shipping container.
"Our real push is for the intact families who are out there, who frankly don't need services," said Father David Gierlach, of St. Elizabeth's. "They just need a roof over their head. And there's lots of them."
