The plan’s funding includes $250 million from FEMA, $150 million from the state, $40 million from the county, and $50 million from the Hawai’i Community Foundation’s Maui Strong Fund.
The collective effort, called the “Maui Interim Housing Plan” commits to securing a pool of 3,000 housing units with 18-month commitments to provide a stable place for households displaced by the Maui fires, currently residing in short-term hotels.
There are approximately 1,459 Maui households living in various forms of mid- to long-term housing, and the plan’s goal is to increase that to 3,071 by March 1 and optimistically to more than 4,200 by July 1.
