HAWAII COUNTY RENT AND MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM CLOSED
It is with a heavy heart to share that the Hawaii County Rent and Mortgage Assistance Program is now closed as all funds have been exhausted. The response to this program was tremendous. Over 3,340 Hawaii Island residents were supported with rent and mortgage assistance grants since August 2020. We are grateful for the opportunity to be able to provide help and hope to the many families of our island home.
