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.
Are you a homeowner who lived in your home before the August 8, 2023, Maui wildfires? Apply to receive a lot survey at no cost through the Lahaina Homeowner Recovery Program, funded by the Maui Strong Fund of the Hawai‘i Community Foundation.
