The City and County of Honolulu and State of Hawaiʻi are working together to provide temporary housing options for residents whose homes were left uninhabitable following the recent Kona Low storms.

The back-to-back storms caused significant damage in several communities, leaving some households unable to safely return to their homes. Temporary housing is being coordinated to ensure families have a safe place to stay while cleanup and repairs are underway.

Available Temporary Housing Options

• The City and County of Honolulu has secured approximately 50 temporary housing units, with more details to be announced as units become available.
• The State of Hawaiʻi is working to provide 80 temporary housing rooms at the Inn at Schofield Barracks through April 30, 2026 for displaced residents.
• Additional temporary housing options may be made available on other islands through short-term rentals and partner facilities if needed.

Who Qualifies

Temporary housing assistance is intended for residents:

• Whose primary residence is unsafe or uninhabitable due to storm damage
• Who need short-term housing while cleanup and repairs are completed

How to Request Housing Assistance

Residents who need temporary housing assistance should:

• Call Aloha United Way by dialing 211
• Visit ready.hawaii.gov to register for assistance

Residents will be referred to the appropriate housing resource based on their situation and eligibility.

The City and State will continue conducting damage assessments, and additional housing assistance may be provided as recovery efforts continue.
