USDA offers programs that can help with wildfire recovery, as well as those that can help you manage risk on your operation.
Click here to see the USDA Wildfire Disaster Recovery assistance programs:
• The Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees, and Farm-Raised Fish Program (ELAP) provides emergency assistance to eligible producers of livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish. It covers losses due to an eligible adverse weather or loss conditions as well as expenses associated with transportation of water and feed to livestock. ELAP is not eligible on federally managed lands.
• The Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program provides financial assistance to producers of non-insurable crops to protect against natural disasters that result in lower yields or crop losses or prevents crop planting. Producers must have obtained NAP coverage for the crop year in which the loss occurs.
• The Tree Assistance Program provides cost-share assistance to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes or vines lost during the natural disaster.
This program provides assistance for trees, bushes or vines not covered by the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program or crop insurance.
•The Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP) provides benefits to livestock owners and contract growers who experience livestock deaths in excess of normal mortality caused by specific adverse weather, disease, or animal attacks.
• The Livestock Forage Disaster Program (LFP) provides benefits for grazing losses due to wildfire. LFP benefits may also be available for loss of grazing acres due to wildfires on federally managed lands on which a producer is prohibited, by a federal agency, from grazing normally permitted livestock.
• Emergency haying and grazing of Conservation Reserve Program acres allows producers to graze livestock on lands enrolled in CRP, except for during primary nesting season.
• Livestock producers who have approved applications through the 2021 Livestock Forage Disaster Program for forage losses due to severe drought or wildfire will soon begin receiving emergency relief payments to compensate for increases in supplemental feed costs through the Farm Service Agency’s Emergency Livestock Relief Program (ELRP).
• The Environmental Quality Incentives Program provides financial and technical assistance to implement conservation practices. Common practices to help recover from wildfire include installing erosion control measures, planting trees, thinning and removing damaged trees and reseeding and replanting riparian areas.
• The Emergency Watershed Protection Program– with recovery and floodplain easement options – provides personalized advice and financial assistance to relieve imminent threats to life and property caused by floods, fires, windstorms, and other natural disasters that impair a watershed.
• Farm Loans: USDA offers a variety of direct and guaranteed loans, including operating and emergency loans to eligible producers unable to secure commercial financing. Loans can help producers replace essential property, purchase inputs like livestock, equipment, feed and seed, cover family living expenses or refinance farm-related debts and other needs.

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

Over 10,000 residents lost their homes in the Maui wildfires of August 2023. This platform was built after seeing that our neighbors needed an efficient way to connect with each other, as landlords and renters. And, we realized that by collecting our community’s housing requests in one place, we can share important statistics to inform decision making and empower data-driven solutions to our housing problem.
We truly hope this tool helps you, whether you are looking for a stable home or offering one to the community.
Maui has 12,000+ Short-Term Rentals and 12,000+ Second Homes. We must house 3,000+ Displaced Families
By collecting families’ housing needs in one place, we offer a uniquely powerful view into Maui’s housing crisis. We encourage government leaders, community organizations, builders, developers, and anyone else shaping our housing solutions to use this data to make informed decisions.

Family Life Center operates and partners with other organizations to provide emergency shelter. We prioritize shelter based on vulnerability and need. Our shelters serve as a stepping stone to permanent housing.
The housing team provides financial assistance for individuals and families in need. Our Case Managers walk through the process to ensure a smooth transition from homelessness into permanent housing. With Rapid Rehousing, it is our goal to help them obtain permanent housing as quickly as possible, using a Housing First approach. This means we eliminate barriers to housing, such as sobriety requirements. After they are housed, we help them to develop a support network and connection to the community.
*If you are not comfortable completing an online application or need help attaching and sending us documents, we offer a workspace in our office where one of our staff members can provide you with assistance.

The Legal Clinic is a non-profit that provides free, high-quality immigration legal services to low income and fire-affected noncitizens in Hawaiʻi.
Free. Confidential. Compassionate. Accessible.
Contact us to learn more about our services & to see if you are eligible for a consultation
Please see the Community Partners page for other organizations that offer low-cost or free help with citizenship applications, document renewals or replacements, and other immigration legal services for Hawaiʻi residents.
The Legal Clinic provides free immigration legal services to Hawaiʻi residents whose total annual household income is no more than 200% of the current federal poverty level.
In a consultation, our legal team listens to the person and discusses what options they may have. A consultation is not the same as a case. We might make referrals to legal services, social services organizations, or private attorneys, and we may give advice. TLC may also consider accepting a case if it fits our priority areas.
When we accept a client, that often means we are representing the person in a (USCIS) process or that we are getting ready to do so.
The Legal Clinic provides vital services to those living in Hawaiʻi who meet our low-income eligiblity guidelines, without regard to immigration status, national origin, ethnic background, race, religion, ideology, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
We work alongside immigrants so they can attain authorization to work and live with dignity, reunite with their families after years of separation, and escape horrific violence to find refuge in the United States.
Because we recognize that every person needs and deserves to feel a sense of trust, welcome, and belonging, our clients represent different faiths, races, traditions, and educational and professional backgrounds — each of them reflecting the powerful diversity of our cities, towns, and communities.
To ensure justice for low-income immigrants and migrants in Hawaiʻi through high-quality immigration legal services, education, and advocacy.

Starting April 2024, Help Maui Rise has started Phase 2 of their grant program where all donations will go directly to the displaced families of Lahaina and Kula who have been approved via their application (click here to apply).
. They are collaborating with GoFundMe.org to take care of distributing the funds to each fundraiser fairly and on a regular basis.
Prior to April 8th, 2024, during Phase One of their "One-Click Donation," they raised $777,113, exceeding their original goal by over seven times.
With the assistance of GoFundMe.org, Help Maui Rise conducted 21 grant rounds, distributing $400 grants to 1,247 GoFundMe fundraisers on their list and $8-900 grants to 449 households.
As they continue with Phase Two, Help Maui Rise shares an application to continue providing direct aid to those displaced by the Maui wildfires. Their priority is to maintain transparency and provide cash assistance while adhering to charitable granting guidelines.
Proof of Displacement: Applicants must provide proof of displacement due to the wildfires.
Income Consideration: Help Maui Rise does not turn away applicants based on income. Funds are sent to applicants with the greatest need, granting to applicants with larger households and lower income first
Receipt Agreement: Applicants must agree to provide receipts as they spend the grant funds. Help Maui Rise will distribute grants based on need stated by the applicant and available funds, with initial grants of up to $1,000 per family and potential additional grants of up to $11,000, as funds allow and as needs are assessed.
Help Maui Rise's goal is to support as many families as possible through transparent and fair grant allocation.
Help Maui Rise is a very small team of volunteers. They want to reassure applicants that they're working as quickly as they can to vet applications and fundraise. They cannot guarantee an exact timeline on grants as prioritization is done in order of need. The most important thing is that an application is submitted so applicants are in line to receive their grants. Once the grant processes, applicants will get an email from GoFundMe. As Help Maui Rise approves new applicants, they will allocate the funds raised regularly and update as grants are issued to those who qualify.
To donate to the One-Click Donation GoFundMe, visit Help Maui Rise Fund GoFundMe page. It serves as a single fund where donors can contribute to the entire list of qualified applicants with a single donation. If you intend to make a larger contribution, please reach out to us beforehand so we can discuss offline donation options to reduce fees.

Summary
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with funding from Kaiser Permanente, has launched the National Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Collaborative (NMHWAC) program.
The NMHWAC program aims to increase the number of qualified licensed mental health and substance use treatment clinicians, while increasing anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) considerations in patient-facing mental health and substance use treatment positions. The Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa launched the Hawaiʻi Mental Health Workforce Accelerator Program in April 2024.
Background
Over 50 million Americans are experiencing a mental illness, but there is only one mental health provider for every 350 individuals in the U.S. This shortage of providers has contributed to nearly 55% of adults with mental illness receiving no treatment. 1 An important component of the workforce shortage is that 57% of people who earn master’s degrees in mental health face financial, time and regulatory barriers to clinical licensure that force them to abandon licensure.
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and to increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians available to serve clients, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing launched the NMHWAC program through grant funding provided by Kaiser Permanente.
Goals
1. Increase the percentage of master’s degree graduates who become licensed in target states.
2. Increase the number of clients served by partially qualified pre- and post-master’s associates.
3. Increase the diversity (in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, language, and culture) of fully licensed master’s-level mental health professionals in participating states.
4. Improve Heath Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) health professional shortage area scores in identified communities.
Candidates must meet the criteria below. Please also see the FAQ page.
Note that the Hawai'i Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Program is giving preference to rural Kanaka Maoli candidates.
Please review the FAQ page before applying. See the home page for the application link.
Register Here for info sessions
How competitive is the program?
Our goal is to recruit 20 candidates/fellows over the course of the two (2) year grant.
What is a cohort?
We will accept small groups of candidates/fellows every July and January, starting in July 2024 through January 2026.
Do I have to pay for supervision?
No! Our funder, Kaiser Permanente, covers the cost of clinical supervision and supplements the candidates' salaries.
What about clinical license study materials and the fees associated with testing and licensure?
All costs are covered by Kaiser and the grant!
What is a candidate? What is a fellow?
Candidates are those with a MSW and who are not clinically licensed yet. Fellows are currently a MSW student, planning to graduate soon. Fellows will not be recruited until the second year of the grant.
What is the goal of this program?
We aim to expand the pool of diverse post-masters licensed clinicians in Hawaiʻi by reducing barriers to clinical licensure. The goal is to increase access to advanced degree mental health professionals who are skilled in providing culturally-competent clinical services.
Can I work part-time or on call?
No, this program is for full-time employment and is designed to help candidates achieve licensure in 2 years.
What if I just got a job offer or just started employment?
This would be a possibility - please explain your situation in the application.
Who gets priority? How do candidates/fellows get selected?
Candidates need to start employment in alignment with our cohort recruitment schedule (July/January). Priority categories are as follows:
How do I know if the tasks I am doing at my job qualify for hours for my LCSW?

On DrugRehab.org's FAQ page, you will find common questions and answers to Substance Use Disorder and Addiction Treatment. Feel Free to ask us a question that we can answer and write about for you by contacting us at admin@drugrehabus.org.
At Drug Rehab USA, they understand the struggles faced by individuals dealing with substance use issues, as well as their loved ones and colleagues. We recognize that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with alcohol, prescription or illegal drugs, or other substances, and we strive to provide clear and concise information to help individuals at any stage of recovery.
DrugRehab USA's primary objective is to serve as a reliable source of information for those struggling with substance use, providing them with access to a wealth of information on symptoms, conditions, treatment options, and resources. We believe in presenting this information in an easy-to-understand, user-friendly format to make it more accessible to everyone. Our inspiration to create Drug Rehab USA stemmed from the realization that no other platform offered such comprehensive resources in one place, and we took it upon ourselves to fill this void.
Treatment centers frequently submit new listings, and we take their time to verify them by calling the facilities, reviewing their websites and social media accounts. The majority of addiction treatment center information comes from the FindTreatment.gov government website. Although we respect them very much, we found the locator difficult to use, as well as having outdated information such as phone numbers, websites, addresses, and more. With the data that we have collected from them, we are verifying and checking the data as often as we can. if you find any incorrect or outdated information please contact us. If a treatment facility is yours, you can claim the facility and update it yourself by visiting a claim listing page.
We are a team of experts who have been in the addiction treatment industry for well over 15 years. Some of them are on the board for National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence/Westchester Inc. We have seen the inside of many treatment facilities, been involved in call centers, conducted research and writing for the substance abuse treatment field for many years, and have had personal battles with addiction. We understand what you are going through!
We do collect advertising fees to keep this project going. Advertiser are screened and verified addiction treatment centers.
If you have any questions or concerns about Drug Rehab USA, please email admin@drugrehabus.org or call: (231) 735-8157

4EverPets is a community resource to assist low-income families and individuals of Maui, as well as those experiencing financial hardship, who need help caring for their beloved pets. Our goal is to help provide the resources needed in order to prevent people from having to surrender their pets to the shelter and allow their animal companions to remain in a loving home.
Absolutely not! We want to assist as much as possible to help keep your pets at home with you. If you need help, please feel free to email, call, or text if you need assistance with food or other things. This includes help with dishes, flea meds, leashes, collars, licenses for spayed and neutered animals, beds, behavior issues, etc. While we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide specific things, we will always do our best to assist.
We have also provided many leashes, collars, harnesses, beds, etc., to people who are experiencing homelessness or financial hardship and could not provide these items for their pets. Our ability to assist an animal is determined on a case-by-case basis, and our primary goal is to defer intake and prevent animals from being surrendered, but we will do our best to assist anyone who needs help. If you have a question about whether or not we might be able to assist you with a particular issue, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We will do what we can and try to find creative ways to help everyone to the best of our ability.
Yes. This is a requirement of the grant we’ve received in order to run this amazing program. We can help with this if needed. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask!!
Cat colony caretakers can sign up for pick-ups on Mondays to coincide with Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Days, and pet owners will be able to sign up online for appointments throughout the week.
Items will be distributed from BeeBee’s Kitchen (formerly the Farewell Gazebo near the front entrance of Maui Humane Society) to those who have scheduled appointments for pick-up.
Spay/Neuter days, and pet owners will be able to sign up online for appointments throughout the week.
We look forward to having volunteers manning the Kitchen during distribution hours but until then, please call (808) 877-3680 ext. 3511 OR text (808) 466-8715 when you arrive for your appointment.

No! So far we have been able to help people feed their pet guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens, and horses, in addition to all of the dogs and cats.
As long as you let us know what you need in order to keep your animals happy, healthy, and at home, we will do our best to assist you.
Absolutely, that would be so helpful! If you would like to make a monetary donation, you can do so on our website by clicking here.
Donations of new or gently used pet supplies are also greatly appreciated, since our grants (while amazing) limit us to buying pet food. We can always use leashes, collars, harnesses, wet and dry food, treats, toys and other common pet supplies!
We would love that! If you’ve already signed up to volunteer with Maui Humane Society, just let our Volunteer Coordinator know that you’d like to help with distribution and we can set it up.
If you’d like to do something else to help, such as organize a food/supply drive or make beds for homeless dogs, we welcome your creativity and invite you to reach out to us!

Taking the first step towards recovery can feel overwhelming. Here's what you need to know to get started on the right path for yourself or a loved one.
It can be difficult to know when recreational substance abuse crosses the line into a serious addiction. Learning the telltale signs and symptoms of addiction - whether in yourself or in others - can help you determine when and how to seek professional help.
Choosing the right rehab is vital. You'll need to identify the program features you want, compare facilities, then make an informed decision. By finding a rehab that meets your treatment goals, you're more likely to complete the program and successfully maintain long-term sobriety.
Many treatment programs are cost prohibitive for people struggling with alcohol or drug addiction. As a result, they often avoid seeking help. In these situations, it can help to seek out treatment programs covered by major insurance providers, along with free or low-cost options. Read Less

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.

Summary
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, with funding from Kaiser Permanente, has launched the National Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Collaborative (NMHWAC) program.
The NMHWAC program aims to increase the number of qualified licensed mental health and substance use treatment clinicians, while increasing anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion (ADEI) considerations in patient-facing mental health and substance use treatment positions. The Thompson School of Social Work & Public Health at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa launched the Hawaiʻi Mental Health Workforce Accelerator Program in April 2024.
Background
Over 50 million Americans are experiencing a mental illness, but there is only one mental health provider for every 350 individuals in the U.S. This shortage of providers has contributed to nearly 55% of adults with mental illness receiving no treatment. 1 An important component of the workforce shortage is that 57% of people who earn master’s degrees in mental health face financial, time and regulatory barriers to clinical licensure that force them to abandon licensure.
To address the mental health and substance use treatment workforce shortage and to increase the number and diversity of licensed clinicians available to serve clients, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing launched the NMHWAC program through grant funding provided by Kaiser Permanente.
Goals
1. Increase the percentage of master’s degree graduates who become licensed in target states.
2. Increase the number of clients served by partially qualified pre- and post-master’s associates.
3. Increase the diversity (in terms of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, language, and culture) of fully licensed master’s-level mental health professionals in participating states.
4. Improve Heath Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) health professional shortage area scores in identified communities.
Candidates must meet the criteria below. Please also see the FAQ page.
Note that the Hawai'i Mental Health Workforce Acceleration Program is giving preference to rural Kanaka Maoli candidates.
Please review the FAQ page before applying. See the home page for the application link.

How competitive is the program?
Our goal is to recruit 20 candidates/fellows over the course of the two (2) year grant.
What is a cohort?
We will accept small groups of candidates/fellows every July and January, starting in July 2024 through January 2026.
Do I have to pay for supervision?
No! Our funder, Kaiser Permanente, covers the cost of clinical supervision and supplements the candidates' salaries.
What about clinical license study materials and the fees associated with testing and licensure?
All costs are covered by Kaiser and the grant!
What is a candidate? What is a fellow?
Candidates are those with a MSW and who are not clinically licensed yet. Fellows are currently a MSW student, planning to graduate soon. Fellows will not be recruited until the second year of the grant.
What is the goal of this program?
We aim to expand the pool of diverse post-masters licensed clinicians in Hawaiʻi by reducing barriers to clinical licensure. The goal is to increase access to advanced degree mental health professionals who are skilled in providing culturally-competent clinical services.
Can I work part-time or on call?
No, this program is for full-time employment and is designed to help candidates achieve licensure in 2 years.
What if I just got a job offer or just started employment?
This would be a possibility - please explain your situation in the application.
Who gets priority? How do candidates/fellows get selected?
Candidates need to start employment in alignment with our cohort recruitment schedule (July/January). Priority categories are as follows:

In partnership with the state Department of Human Services, Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. (MEO) is administering the Maui Relief TANF Program that will provide help with housing, auto and utility payments and other expenses for income-eligible families with children who were directly impacted by the Aug. 8 wildfires.
The Maui Relief TANF Program “Program” provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children with household incomes at or below 350% of the federal poverty level* who either experienced property damage or loss, or lost earnings or employment as a direct result of the wildfire disaster.
Additional private funding has been secured to expand these benefits to individuals and families without dependents. The Program benefits are not intended to meet a family’s recurring needs and will not extend beyond four (4) months.
(Nov 19, 2024)
New benefits, including funds for a new refrigerator, washer, stove and microwave, and increased assistance limits highlight the beginning of the second year of the Maui Relief TANF Program that supports those impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The nonprofit Maui Economic Opportunity in partnership with the state Department of Human Services began administering the wildfire relief program in November 2023 and provided housing, vehicle, utility, clothing and school supply support for families with dependent children. The new adopted emergency rules – with the additions – are retroactive to Oct. 5, 2024.
The changes follow:
- Automobile down payment increased from a maximum of $5,000 to $6,000.
- Automobile payments increased from a maximum of $500 to $1,000 for up to four months.
- Automobile down payment and up to 4 months of automobile payments may be combined for a one-time purchase of an automobile with a bill of sale of up to $10,000.
The new emergency rules also include a one-time replacement of a refrigerator up to $1,000; range up to $1,000; washer or dryer up to $1,000 or washer and dryer for $1,750; microwave or toaster oven up to $200. Items being replaced have to be owned by the family.
These new benefits are available to those whose applications were received on Oct. 5, 2024, and later. Those who have received benefits in the past may submit another application for the new benefits or others not yet tapped.
Other program benefits:
- Housing up to $5,000 for a deposit and up to $5,000 per month for up to 4 months.
- One-time utility deposit up to $2,000 and combined utility payments for up to 4 months, not to exceed $750.
- Clothing allowance up to $350 per dependent child under age 18 and $500 per adult and $750 for pregnant women in their third trimester.
- School supply allowance of $300 for each eligible school-age child.
The Maui Relief TANF Program provides benefits to eligible families with dependent children and pregnant women in their third trimester who were directly impacted by the wildfires. Applicants are eligible if:
- Their home or place of employment was damaged or destroyed due to the wildfires.
- They lived or worked in the burn zone and were unable to return home or work due to the recovery efforts.
- Their household income is at or below 350% of the federal poverty level. That would be $120,750 annually for a family of four.
Families who lost income related to the slowdown in the economy, or suffered an indirect impact, do not qualify.
MEO also assisted families without dependent children, using funds from the Hawai‘i Community Foundation. Those funds have been expended, and the expanded benefits do not apply to this group.
In one year of the program’s operation, MEO has disbursed more than $15 million and assisted 7,137 individuals and 2,518 families impacted by the wildfires. The largest chunk of funding, $8 million, has gone to housing and mortgage assistance, followed by vehicle, $4.1 million, and clothing, $1.9 million.
To apply for benefits or for more information, call (808) 243-4404 or email nrst@meoinc.org. Walk-ins are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., weekdays (excluding holidays) at MEO’s Wailuku office, 99 Mahalani St.
