Goodwill Hawaiʻi was recently awarded a new one-year contract by the State of Hawaiʻi DLIR Office of Community Services to provide Employment Core Services to Lahaina’s immigrant population or any other Maui resident who was displaced from work as a direct or indirect result of the Maui fires in August.
A bill recently signed into law allocated $1 million to restore immigrant resource centers. Advocates say these centers provide critical services to help immigrants settle into a new country. HPR's Jayna Omaye has more.
