We often receive messages like, “How do I apply to Kauhale?” or “I need a home. Please help me.”
If you are reaching out for housing, we want you to know we care. We understand how hard it is to ask for help, and how deeply important it is to have a place to call home.
HomeAid Hawai‘i is here to build those homes. But we do not manage applications or day-to-day operations. This part is in the hands of our trusted partners, the organizations who work directly with residents and guide the process of welcoming people into each community.
Each community has its own application process and eligibility criteria. If you are ready to take the next step, please reach out directly to the organization that manages the community you are interested in:
Operated by: Institute for Human Services (IHS)
Operated by: Hawai‘i Health & Harm Reduction Center (HHHRC)
Operated by: Project Vision Hawai‘i
Operated by: U.S.VETS
Ka La‘i Ola is a temporary housing development that will house up to 1,500 wildfire survivors for up to 5 years. The Hawaiʻi Interim Housing Program (HIHP) assists those displaced by placing survivor households in Ka Laʻi Ola. As of January 16, 2025, HIHP no longer accepts applications. For those who still have disaster-related housing needs, the Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP) at 211 or 808-275-2000 can connect applicants to additional State and partner resources for recovery assistance.
We truly hope you are able to connect with the right service provider and begin your journey toward home. Mahalo nui from all of us at HomeAid Hawai‘i.
