Lako Ko Kauhale– ʻOhana Resource Management & Housing Grants

The Lako Ko Kauhale- ʻOhana Resource Management & Housing Grants aim to support programs and practices enhancing Native Hawaiian resource management knowledge and skills, particularly in meeting housing needs. The grant program mainly focuses on increasing safety, stability, social support networks, and cultural connection within Native Hawaiian communities. It prioritizes projects that enable Native Hawaiians to rent or own housing suitable for their ʻohana's financial and wellbeing needs. A special emphasis is placed on "occupancy ready" housing solutions that prepare ʻohana to secure housing in Hawaii's challenging market, including projects offering direct funding for down payments and rental security deposits.
