Hawaii island group distributes $7.5M in housing aid, with more on the way
A hui of Hawaii island organizations already has distributed all of its $7.5 million in federal funds to pay rent and mortgages for 1,322 households during the COVID-19 economic and health crisis, but the need is even greater.
Another 1,516 applications are still pending approval.
To help respond to the volume of renters and homeowners who continue to need help on Hawaii island, county officials on Friday issued an additional $1 million in federal funds to the hui and plan to provide $1.4 million more this week, according to Sharon Hirota, an executive assistant to Mayor Harry Kim.
