Probably not that much different than how poor people live in NYC, LA, London, Tokyo, Hong Kong, etc. etc.
Likely a combination of hard work (multiple jobs, long/undesirable hours), charity/welfare from private and public organizations, shared spaces, limited food/housing/recreational activities, limited free time, and chronic financial stress month to month.

All that and strong family ties ... typically more supportive than mainland families.
Yup, pretty much needs either a pile of money or a group to get by well in Hawaii. In Hawaii, the groups are frequently referred to as a 'hui'. Way back when, some of the folks imported for working in the plantations would 'hui' together and then advance one of their members for the purpose of that hui member then being able to help the others.
Hawaii are like Eastern Europe and South America. You have multiple generations living under one roof and apparently it’s completly normal here since bunch of the people do it. When I lived on mainland and told people I live under parents roof everybody thought I am crazy...

I keep hearing how expensive hawaii is, and it makes me wonder how poverty-line level people survive there?
Is Hawaii a Sanctuary City? Usually, Sanctuary cities have lots of goodies in place to help poor people, for example: New York City, being a Sanctuary city, has loads of rent subsidized buildings where the rent is kept at a minimum for people of low income or the rent will go up very minimally per year. They have also have lots of laws to protect the poor, and immigrants, which this is made possible through government grants.

Well, Hawaii is a state that consists of multiple islands, all of which are different counties and are governed somewhat differently. The state of Hawaii is not a sanctuary state, nor - as far as I know - none of the counties are sanctuary counties.
The whole island of Oahu is the 'City & County of Honolulu', so counties are the smallest form of government we have. I guess with no legal cities, then no Sanctuary Cities?
Honolulu would be the only city in the state and unless it is, we don't have any.
