HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Kauai County announced that a new rental and utility assistance program will launch in the first week of May.
The county said the program is designed to help Kauai and Niihau residents, especially renters and landlords, who have struggled to pay rent and utilities due to a loss of income during the pandemic.
Eligible applicants may receive up to $2,000 per month for rent and up to $400 per month for qualifying utilities. Information is required from both tenants and landlords in order for an application to be completed and qualify for the program.

HONOLULU (AP) The island of Kauai in Hawaii has rejoined the state s Safe Travels program, which means out-of-state visitors can skip quarantining if they test negative for the coronavirus up to 72 hours before their flight.
As of Monday, travelers to Kauai were allowed to bypass a 10-day quarantine by presenting pre-travel negative coronavirus tests, Hawaii News Now reported.
The county had opted out of the program in December because of the global rise in virus infection cases.
“We are now in a much better place today to have travelers coming in, and I think as more vaccines get out, generally speaking, the entire world will be in a better place,” Kauai Mayor Derek Kawakami said.
