We focus on housing because safe, stable shelter is the bedrock of healthy communities. After the wildfires destroyed over 1,300 homes in Lahaina, families face an unprecedented housing crisis layered on top of Hawaiʻi's existing shortage. Our committee guides rebuild efforts that honor cultural practices while meeting the urgent need for homes that families can afford to build and maintain.
We are seeking partnerships with the range of organizations that support disaster recovery, including:
We invite organizations to partner with us in our mission to support disaster recovery. Here’s how we can collaborate:

The Keep Lahaina Home program provides grants to bridge those financial gaps for ‘ohana whose insurance proceeds have fallen short, making rebuilding possible for more 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.
If you need support: Connect with us for rebuild guidance, contractor vetting, help navigating permits and septic conversions, or exploring affordable housing options like ADUs. We're here when construction delays happen or barriers arise.
Our checklist helps guide homeowners and professionals through the post-disaster construction process.

If you're still facing gaps in food, housing, funding, or other essential needs after the Lahaina wildfire, you don't have to navigate recovery alone. Hoʻōla ia Mauiakama Long Term Recovery Group (Hoʻōla LTRG) has partnered up with local organizations and offering a new program for Disaster Case Management.
Our disaster case managers provide trauma-informed guidance, help accessing mental health services, and connections to cultural healing practices. We center your family's needs and ensure your voice shapes your recovery plan.
