The man who left a state government job dealing with homelessness five years ago is now working for the city government on the same issue.
Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell is hiring former state homeless director Marc Alexander to lead the city Office of Housing.
Caldwell named Alexander along with several other second-term Cabinet appointees in a press release late Tuesday.
Alexander, a former vicar general in the Catholic Church, was appointed by former Gov. Neil Abercrombie in 2011 to serve as state homeless director but resigned in 2012 when news leaked that he had an affair with a woman when he was serving at St. John Vianney parish in Kailua.
