USDA offers programs that can help with wildfire recovery, as well as those that can help you manage risk on your operation.
Click here to see the USDA Wildfire Disaster Recovery assistance programs:
• The Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish. It covers losses due to an eligible adverse weather or loss conditions as well as expenses associated with transportation of water and feed to livestock. ELAP is not eligible on federally managed lands.
• The Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program provides financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops to protect against natural disasters that result in lower yields or crop losses or prevents crop planting. Producers must have obtained NAP coverage for the crop year in which the loss occurs.
• The Tree Assistance Program provides cost-share assistance to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes or vines lost during the natural disaster.
This program provides assistance for trees, bushes or vines not covered by the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program or crop insurance.
•The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provides benefits to livestock owners and contract growers who experience livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by specific adverse weather, disease, or animal attacks.
• The Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) provides benefits for grazing losses due to wildfire. LFP benefits may also be available for loss of grazing acres due to wildfires on federally managed lands on which a producer is prohibited, by a federal agency, from grazing normally permitted livestock.
• Emergency haying and grazing of Conservation Reserve Program acres allows producers to graze livestock on lands enrolled in CRP, except for during primary nesting season.
• Livestock producers who have approved applications through the 2021 Livestock Forage Disaster Program for forage losses due to severe drought or wildfire will soon begin receiving emergency relief payments to compensate for increases in supplemental feed costs through the Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP).
• The Environmental Quality Incentives Program provides financial and technical assistance to implement conservation practices. Common practices to help recover from wildfire include installing erosion control measures, planting trees, thinning and removing damaged trees and reseeding and replanting riparian areas.
• The Emergency Watershed Protection Program– with recovery and floodplain easement options – provides personalized advice and financial assistance to relieve imminent threats to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms, and other natural disasters that impair a watershed.
• Farm Loans: USDA offers a variety of direct and guaranteed loans, including operating and emergency loans to eligible producers unable to secure commercial financing. Loans can help producers replace essential property, purchase inputs like livestock, equipment, feed and seed, cover family living expenses or refinance farm-related debts and other needs.

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

Governor Green announces free state-funded mediation for landlords and tenants starting Feb. 5 to prevent sudden evictions and resolve overdue rent issues.
Act 202, which took effect in July of 2024, establishes a fair, mediation-based process for resolving rent disputes between landlords and tenants. Per Governor Green's office, this law ensures that both parties have access to support and resources to address overdue rent without immediately resorting to court action.
According to Governor Green, starting February 5, 2025, landlords and tenants have the opportunity to engage in free, state-funded mediation facilitated by Maui Mediation Services, before filing for eviction in court. This process is designed to prevent sudden evictions. The mediation services will be available for tenants and landlords.
To participate in the process, landlords must provide tenants with a written notice of overdue rent and notify Maui Mediation Services. Tenants have 15 days to respond and schedule a mediation session. If tenants choose not to schedule or participate in the mediation process after receiving a notice from their landlord, the landlord can then file an eviction case in court 30 days after the date of the notice.
The mediation periods below are based on the total amount of overdue rent. Tenants with the most overdue rent are prioritized to resolve their cases sooner, but they are not restricted to just one period:
Mediation sessions will bring landlords and tenants together, either in person or via Zoom, to find mutually agreeable solutions to overdue rent and potential eviction issues. Mediators, acting as neutral facilitators, will document any agreements reached.
Mediation is available through Maui Mediation Services:

There are two main things to think about: Your policy benefits and your ability to file a “bad faith” claim against an insurer that hasn’t treated you fairly.
As the two-year anniversary approaches, don’t leave insurance funds on the table or lose your ability to hold your insurer accountable in court due to an expiring deadline. If your policy provides Replacement Cost Benefits for your dwelling and/or personal property (contents) there may be a deadline for collecting those funds. It may be the 2nd anniversary of your loss. If your insurer is withholding funds until you submit proof that you’ve replaced your home and/or contents, but you’re not going to be able to do that before the deadline, there are customizable sample letters on our website that you can send to them to request an extension.
In the State of Hawaii you have two years from the date of your loss to file a lawsuit against an insurance company if they have violated your rights and/or treated you unfairly.

According to dozens of research studies over the last 50 years, scientists say, if applied in daily life, mindfulness leads to:
Hoʻi ka Hā is a contemporary school of ancient knowledge and a fiscally managed program of Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network (HCAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 94-3257650). Hoʻi ka Hā is entirely dedicated to the complete reconnection with ALOHA: the living presence, joy & power pervading all life.
MAIN COURSE
Hoʻi ka Hā's main course is a profound, experiential journey that points the way toward living consciously, with an awakened mind. Today, we call that mindfulness-awareness. According to Aunty Pilahi Pakī, one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved and respected wisdom keepers, it’s called living ALOHA.
MISSION
Hoʻi ka Hā's mission is to employ Universal Truths and Ancient Wisdom Traditions to foster personal/professional transformation in people toward living ALOHA (embodying empathy, compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness). We believe that, at this time in history, the planet needs real leaders – leaders who live ALOHA: Who possess an optimistic outlook, forge meaningful connections with others, have a clear understanding of their purpose and values, and possess the conviction that they can bring about positive change in their lives, communities, cities, states, country, or the world.
The more we live ALOHA, the more we experience peace & harmony. The more we experience peace & harmony, the more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion. The more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion, the more we treat others and the planet with kindness & compassion. This forms the basis of working together cooperatively – free of ego – on any issue that is for the highest good of all sentient beings and the planet.
VISION
“The world turns to Hawaiʻi as they search for peace because Hawaiʻi has the key; and that key is ALOHA.” ~ Aunty Pilahi Paki
Hoʻi ka Hā aspires to train anyone who wants to learn how to teach the main course so that the people in their communities can benefit from living ALOHA and experiencing the associated harmony, joy, peace, and wellbeing even in these materialistic times.

Starting April 2024, Help Maui Rise has started Phase 2 of their grant program where all donations will go directly to the displaced families of Lahaina and Kula who have been approved via their application (click here to apply).
. They are collaborating with GoFundMe.org to take care of distributing the funds to each fundraiser fairly and on a regular basis.
Prior to April 8th, 2024, during Phase One of their "One-Click Donation," they raised $777,113, exceeding their original goal by over seven times.
With the assistance of GoFundMe.org, Help Maui Rise conducted 21 grant rounds, distributing $400 grants to 1,247 GoFundMe fundraisers on their list and $8-900 grants to 449 households.
As they continue with Phase Two, Help Maui Rise shares an application to continue providing direct aid to those displaced by the Maui wildfires. Their priority is to maintain transparency and provide cash assistance while adhering to charitable granting guidelines.
Proof of Displacement: Applicants must provide proof of displacement due to the wildfires.
Income Consideration: Help Maui Rise does not turn away applicants based on income. Funds are sent to applicants with the greatest need, granting to applicants with larger households and lower income first
Receipt Agreement: Applicants must agree to provide receipts as they spend the grant funds. Help Maui Rise will distribute grants based on need stated by the applicant and available funds, with initial grants of up to $1,000 per family and potential additional grants of up to $11,000, as funds allow and as needs are assessed.
Help Maui Rise's goal is to support as many families as possible through transparent and fair grant allocation.
Help Maui Rise is a very small team of volunteers. They want to reassure applicants that they're working as quickly as they can to vet applications and fundraise. They cannot guarantee an exact timeline on grants as prioritization is done in order of need. The most important thing is that an application is submitted so applicants are in line to receive their grants. Once the grant processes, applicants will get an email from GoFundMe. As Help Maui Rise approves new applicants, they will allocate the funds raised regularly and update as grants are issued to those who qualify.
To donate to the One-Click Donation GoFundMe, visit Help Maui Rise Fund GoFundMe page. It serves as a single fund where donors can contribute to the entire list of qualified applicants with a single donation. If you intend to make a larger contribution, please reach out to us beforehand so we can discuss offline donation options to reduce fees.
Born in the aftermath of the 2023 Maui fires, the Lahaina Community Land Trust was formed to safeguard Lahaina families from displacement and leverage disaster relief to foster permanent community stability. LCLT is guided solely by the people it serves — from community members who lost homes to those with generational knowledge of this special place — and works to secure land for permanently affordable homes to ensure local families can remain in Lahaina without having to compete with outside wealth. Besides purchasing and building homes on Lahaina lands, LCLT provides Lahaina homeowners grants to rebuild when insurance falls short, ensuring that ‘ohana can remain in Lahaina.
We know that only Lahaina’s people know what they need to be made whole. Our programs work to:
Most importantly: All of these protections are permanent. Our investment must only be used once to protect 'āina — forever.
The Keep Lahaina Home Insurance Gap Program offers a powerful partnership between homeowners and LCLT to help rebuild Lahaina and ensure ‘ohana can afford to stay and rebuild. Our program provides grants to bridge financial gaps for ‘ohana whose insurance proceeds have fallen short, making rebuilding possible for local families.
The typical financial gap for homeowners ranges from $200,000 to $400,000, although that shifts along with construction material prices and labor costs. In exchange for this grant funding, homeowners join us in ensuring Lahaina stays affordable for local families for generations to come. This means committing to ensuring that homes will only ever be resold to kamaʻāina, at an attainable price. CONTACT LCLT through this questionnaire to learn more.
As a Community Land Trust, LCLT works to purchase and steward lands for the benefit of the Lahaina community. LCLT has emerged as a pivotal force in Lahaina’s post-disaster real estate market, participating in the majority of residential transactions in the burn zone. As of March 2025, we have secured six properties, which are zoned for 13 housing units combined. Once those homes are built, they’ll be sold to Lahaina families at attainable prices through the Community Land Trust stewardship model.
As a Lahaina landowner considering the possibility of selling, Lahaina Community Land Trust understands the complexities and emotions involved in such a decision. CONTACT Lahaina Community Land Trust to explore a partnership that respects your needs and aligns with the values of the Lahaina Community Land Trust.
Hawai‘i Community Lending (HCL) has been called on to expand our services under the Lahaina Homeowner Recovery Program to provide vital assistance to up to 500 owner-occupant Lahaina homeowners, helping them prevent foreclosure and qualify for financing to rebuild their homes.
• Lahaina homeowner
• Lived in home as primary residence before impact
HCL was created by native Hawaiians on Maui who were unable to qualify for a Hawaiian Homelands lease. HCL started its work in 2002 in the Paukukalo homestead to help native Hawaiians obtain mortgages to receive their lease and get on the land.
They expanded from our Maui roots to serve native Hawaiians across the state. In 2007, HCL assisted Leiali‘i homestead families in Lahaina obtain mortgages. 16 years later, when the August 8th fires struck, our team moved quickly to launch the Kanaka Anti-Displacement Fund to bring services to the 104 impacted Leiali‘i families, committing ourselves to help them prevent displacement and rebuild.

Project Vision Hawaii's outreach efforts bring hygiene, housing help, and compassion to Hawaiʻi’s houseless ʻohana.
Project Vision Hawaii is helping provide access to health and human services, with the help of Friends of Hawaii Charity and The Sony Open Hawaii.
Project Vision Hawaii’s mission is to work in partnership with Hawaii’s people to bring services to communities, statewide, serving everyone from keiki to kupuna, to people experiencing homelessness.
The group has 4 mobile clinics, and 2 mobile hygiene units.
Programs work in partnership to provide preventative screenings that lead to glasses for kids, prevent falls in seniors, as well as prevent chronic conditions such as diabetes.
“On the 11th, we went to Molokai and worked with Vision to Learn to provide every Title one school child with glasses,” says Executive Director Annie Valentin.
“This is a place with huge access to care barriers. About 100 kids got glasses. It was amazing.”
Project Vision has partnered with the City on the HONU/LIFT project, providing long hot showers for people experiencing homelessness to help them in their journey to get back on their feet.
Project Vision is a beneficiary of The Sony Open’s Friend’s of Hawaii Charities.

Child Welfare Services also include family support, foster care, adoption, legal guardianship, independent living, adoption assistance and guardianship payments, and licensing of resource caregivers, group homes, and child placing organizations.
The mission of the Child Welfare Services Branch is to ensure the safety, permanency, and wellbeing of children in their own homes first or, when necessary, in out-of-home placements. When a child cannot be safely returned to the family within a reasonable time frame, CWS will proceed with establishing a permanent placement for the child through adoption, legal guardianship, or another long-term substitute care. The Child Welfare Services Branch has offices on the islands of Oahu, Hawaiʻi, Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Lanai.

Mandated Reporters
Due to the recent changes to the Hawaii Revised Statues Chapter 350 - Child Abuse and Mandated Reporting laws - the Friends of the Children's Justice Center of Maui has produced and released a film about Mandated Reporting of child abuse and neglect. The 12-minute film explains that individuals who work for human service agencies, schools, courts, and other organizations that work directly with children, are required by law to report abuse and neglect of a child to the appropriate authorities. The film also outlines the process for reporting abuse or neglect of a child. Click here to view the Youtube video that was published on Aug 30, 2014.

Summary
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with funding from Kaiser Permanente, has launched the National Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Collaborative (NMHWAC) program.
The NMHWAC program aims to increase the number of qualified licensed mental health and substance use treatment clinicians, while increasing anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) considerations in patient-facing mental health and substance use treatment positions. The Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa launched the Hawaiʻi Mental Health Workforce Accelerator Program in April 2024.
Background
Over 50 million Americans are experiencing a mental illness, but there is only one mental health provider for every 350 individuals in the U.S. This shortage of providers has contributed to nearly 55% of adults with mental illness receiving no treatment. 1 An important component of the workforce shortage is that 57% of people who earn master’s degrees in mental health face financial, time and regulatory barriers to clinical licensure that force them to abandon licensure.
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and to increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians available to serve clients, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing launched the NMHWAC program through grant funding provided by Kaiser Permanente.
Goals
1. Increase the percentage of master’s degree graduates who become licensed in target states.
2. Increase the number of clients served by partially qualified pre- and post-master’s associates.
3. Increase the diversity (in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, language, and culture) of fully licensed master’s-level mental health professionals in participating states.
4. Improve Heath Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) health professional shortage area scores in identified communities.
Candidates must meet the criteria below. Please also see the FAQ page.
Note that the Hawai'i Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Program is giving preference to rural Kanaka Maoli candidates.
Please review the FAQ page before applying. See the home page for the application link.

How competitive is the program?
Our goal is to recruit 20 candidates/fellows over the course of the two (2) year grant.
What is a cohort?
We will accept small groups of candidates/fellows every July and January, starting in July 2024 through January 2026.
Do I have to pay for supervision?
No! Our funder, Kaiser Permanente, covers the cost of clinical supervision and supplements the candidates' salaries.
What about clinical license study materials and the fees associated with testing and licensure?
Candidates are eligible for up to $480 in license-related expenses.
What is a candidate? What is a fellow?
Candidates are those with a MSW and who are not clinically licensed yet. Fellows are currently a MSW student, planning to graduate soon. Fellows will not be recruited until the second year of the grant.
What is the goal of this program?
We aim to expand the pool of diverse post-masters licensed clinicians in Hawaiʻi by reducing barriers to clinical licensure. The goal is to increase access to advanced degree mental health professionals who are skilled in providing culturally-competent clinical services.
Can I work part-time or on call?
No, this program is for full-time employment and is designed to help candidates achieve licensure in 2 years.
What if I just got a job offer or just started employment?
This would be a possibility - please explain your situation in the application.
Who gets priority? How do candidates/fellows get selected?
Candidates need to start employment in alignment with our cohort recruitment schedule (July/January). Priority categories are as follows:

At Drug Rehab USA, they understand the struggles faced by individuals dealing with substance use issues, as well as their loved ones and colleagues. We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, or other substances, and we strive to provide clear and concise information to help individuals at any stage of recovery.
DrugRehab USA's primary objective is to serve as a reliable source of information for those struggling with substance use, providing them with access to a wealth of information on symptoms, conditions, treatment options, and resources. We believe in presenting this information in an easy-to-understand, user-friendly format to make it more accessible to everyone. Our inspiration to create Drug Rehab USA stemmed from the realization that no other platform offered such comprehensive resources in one place, and we took it upon ourselves to fill this void.
Treatment centers frequently submit new listings, and we take their time to verify them by calling the facilities, reviewing their websites and social media accounts. The majority of addiction treatment center information comes from the FindTreatment.gov government website. Although we respect them very much, we found the locator difficult to use, as well as having outdated information such as phone numbers, websites, addresses, and more. With the data that we have collected from them, we are verifying and checking the data as often as we can. if you find any incorrect or outdated information please contact us. If a treatment facility is yours, you can claim the facility and update it yourself by visiting a claim listing page.
We are a team of experts who have been in the addiction treatment industry for well over 15 years. Some of them are on the board for National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence/Westchester Inc. We have seen the inside of many treatment facilities, been involved in call centers, conducted research and writing for the substance abuse treatment field for many years, and have had personal battles with addiction. We understand what you are going through!
We do collect advertising fees to keep this project going. Advertiser are screened and verified addiction treatment centers.
If you have any questions or concerns about Drug Rehab USA, please email admin@drugrehabus.org or call: (231) 735-8157

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

Nā Hoaloha is a grass-roots organization promoting social responsibility and advocacy by empowering volunteers to nurture relationships, meeting the needs of Maui County’s kupuna.
Nā Hoaloha provides volunteers to help seniors remain independent and to enhance the quality of their lives.

Click here to download the Nā Hoaloha informational brochure.
In 2020, every fourth person in Hawaii will be 60 years of age or older. As Maui County’s population ages, many residents will be faced with caring for a family member or will need services themselves. Services such as rides to a doctor, or to get medication or groceries can impact the ability to live independently. Nā Hoaloha provides these essential services to increase the chances of staying at home as long as possible.
The Friendly Visitor Program provides companionship, entertainment, and recreation by a volunteer. They may also assist participants with light housekeeping tasks and meal preparation.
The Telephone Reassurance Program matches volunteers (some of whom may be homebound themselves) with homebound participants. The calls provide an opportunity for social engagement; as well as status updates. The volunteer checks in via telephone daily, weekly, or monthly (as scheduled); providing medication reminders and wellness checks.
Through our Escort Transportation services, our volunteers transport participants to the doctor, grocery shopping, the pharmacy, and help our kupuna stay engaged and independent. Volunteer drivers receive mileage reimbursement at $.58/mile.
The In-home Respite Program allows a family caregiver who is providing round the clock care the opportunity for relief. This unique flexibility gives the family caregiver the opportunity to continue participant-centered care while taking advantage of critically needed time away from the stressors of caregiving.
Stay on Your Feet, our new Falls Prevention Volunteer Program deploys volunteers to communities to assist residents in identifying environmental factors that contribute to falls. The Falls Prevention volunteers outreach to the community to educate the public about the devastating impact a fall will have in quality of life for older adults.
In Hawaii, every five hours a senior falls and is hospitalized. In addition, statistics show that 40% of those over the age of 60 who are injured in a fall requiring hospitalization never return home; of those 40%, 25% will die within 1 year of falling. Through education and the development of a self-evaluation tool for fall risk, Nā Hoaloha hopes to raise awareness, provide assistance, and reduce the number of falls.

Funded by the U.S. Department of Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, Inc.
In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

According to Aunty Pilahi Pakī, Aunty Morrnah Nālamakū Simeona, and Aunty Nānā Veary, three of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved and respected wisdom keepers of the 20th century, it’s called living ALOHA.

According to dozens of research studies over the last 50 years, scientists say, if applied in daily life, mindfulness leads to:
Hoʻi ka Hā is a contemporary school of ancient knowledge and a fiscally managed program of Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network (HCAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 94-3257650). Hoʻi ka Hā is entirely dedicated to the complete reconnection with ALOHA: the living presence, joy & power pervading all life.
MAIN COURSE
Hoʻi ka Hā's main course is a profound, experiential journey that points the way toward living consciously, with an awakened mind. Today, we call that mindfulness-awareness. According to Aunty Pilahi Pakī, one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved and respected wisdom keepers, it’s called living ALOHA.
MISSION
Hoʻi ka Hā's mission is to employ Universal Truths and Ancient Wisdom Traditions to foster personal/professional transformation in people toward living ALOHA (embodying empathy, compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness). We believe that, at this time in history, the planet needs real leaders – leaders who live ALOHA: Who possess an optimistic outlook, forge meaningful connections with others, have a clear understanding of their purpose and values, and possess the conviction that they can bring about positive change in their lives, communities, cities, states, country, or the world.
The more we live ALOHA, the more we experience peace & harmony. The more we experience peace & harmony, the more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion. The more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion, the more we treat others and the planet with kindness & compassion. This forms the basis of working together cooperatively – free of ego – on any issue that is for the highest good of all sentient beings and the planet.
VISION
“The world turns to Hawaiʻi as they search for peace because Hawaiʻi has the key; and that key is ALOHA.” ~ Aunty Pilahi Paki
Hoʻi ka Hā aspires to train anyone who wants to learn how to teach the main course so that the people in their communities can benefit from living ALOHA and experiencing the associated harmony, joy, peace, and wellbeing even in these materialistic times.

According to dozens of research studies over the last 50 years, scientists say, if applied in daily life, mindfulness leads to:
Hoʻi ka Hā is a contemporary school of ancient knowledge and a fiscally managed program of Hawaiʻi Children’s Action Network (HCAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 94-3257650). Hoʻi ka Hā is entirely dedicated to the complete reconnection with ALOHA: the living presence, joy & power pervading all life.
MAIN COURSE
Hoʻi ka Hā's main course is a profound, experiential journey that points the way toward living consciously, with an awakened mind. Today, we call that mindfulness-awareness. According to Aunty Pilahi Pakī, one of Hawaiʻi’s most beloved and respected wisdom keepers, it’s called living ALOHA.
MISSION
Hoʻi ka Hā's mission is to employ Universal Truths and Ancient Wisdom Traditions to foster personal/professional transformation in people toward living ALOHA (embodying empathy, compassion, wisdom, and mindfulness). We believe that, at this time in history, the planet needs real leaders – leaders who live ALOHA: Who possess an optimistic outlook, forge meaningful connections with others, have a clear understanding of their purpose and values, and possess the conviction that they can bring about positive change in their lives, communities, cities, states, country, or the world.
The more we live ALOHA, the more we experience peace & harmony. The more we experience peace & harmony, the more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion. The more we treat ourselves with kindness & compassion, the more we treat others and the planet with kindness & compassion. This forms the basis of working together cooperatively – free of ego – on any issue that is for the highest good of all sentient beings and the planet.
VISION
“The world turns to Hawaiʻi as they search for peace because Hawaiʻi has the key; and that key is ALOHA.” ~ Aunty Pilahi Paki
Hoʻi ka Hā aspires to train anyone who wants to learn how to teach the main course so that the people in their communities can benefit from living ALOHA and experiencing the associated harmony, joy, peace, and wellbeing even in these materialistic times.
