The Hawaii Relief Program

Expanded relief and family assistance

The Hawaii Relief Program, launched with $100 million in Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding, provides up to four months of housing and utility assistance for families with children facing financial hardship. DHS has contracted Catholic Charities Hawaii (CCH) and Maui Economic Opportunity Inc. (MEO) to administer the program statewide.

Applications opened October 29. Families on Kauai, Oahu, and Hawaii Island may apply through CCH, while residents of Maui, Molokai and Lanai may apply through MEO. Families do not need to be SNAP recipients to qualify.
