AVAILABLE NOW: Application for Disaster Relief Assistance

Applications for disaster relief assistance are now available for those impacted by the Maui wildfires. The Hawai‘i REALTORS® Charitable Foundation will work with the REALTORS® Association of Maui to distribute $1.5 million in disaster relief aid that was awarded by the National Association of REALTORS® Relief Foundation.

 

Homeowners and renters whose primary residence was damaged or destroyed by the fires may apply for up to $3,000 in initial assistance per household. Applications are open through Dec. 31, 2023.

 

Assistance is available to qualified applicants towards one of the following options:
 

  1. Monthly mortgage expenses for primary residence that was damaged by the wildfire disaster; or
  2. Rental cost due to displacement from the primary residence resulting from the wildfire disaster; or
  3. Hotel reimbursement due to displacement from the primary residence resulting from the wildfire disaster.

 

More information and the application can be found at hawaiirealtors.com/mauirelief. We are working to distribute applications and encourage you to share this information with others to ensure that we reach those in need.

Mahalo for your continued support of Maui. Please share the Maui Kokua website, mauikokua.com, which provides disaster resources, services and information in one place, and donate to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation.

Thank you for your very down to earth zoom call this morning!  So many folks, need everything and  I'm glad to hear NAR is contributing 1.5 M.  I pray for all the folks every day and will book a vacation there asap.  You are so right about the economy - that probably hasn't hit as hard yet, but soon it will and it's going to be tough for all. The more we can all help out, the better.

Steven- Thank you for your Zoom presentation today!!! I loved hearing firsthand what went on and what we can do. We want to help but as you can imagine, we want to make sure that the funds are going to those who directly benefit from it.  Keep us informed and make sure we get the links to some online stores.

This is good to know and I hope that all of those monies will truly be used to help people rebuild and get back on their feet.  Your presentation yesterday confirmed a lot of the things that I figured to be true.

Brian England funny how a disaster brings out the best and the worst in people. Mostly we see the best, rebuilding people's lives, businesses and homes is a priority in Lahaina. Get the word out #Maui is open for visitors.

I just want to say the $1.5M from NAR is hitting the streets on Maui. I understand it's $3000 to fire victims. Good news.
