Mālama Honua Disaster Fund
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) has launched the Mālama Honua Disaster Fund (HDF), a new program providing a limited number of $10,000 repair grants to eligible Native Hawaiian homeowners whose homes sustained minor damage during the March 2026 Kona low storm events.
The program is designed to help OHA beneficiaries address disaster-related cleanup and home repair needs for principal residences located in OHA-identified highly impacted communities throughout Hawaiʻi. The grants are intended for homes that remain safe to live in but require non-structural repairs or cleanup due to flooding, water damage, or other storm-related impacts.
The MHDF program is open to Native Hawaiian homeowners who are not otherwise eligible for OHA’s March 2026 Kona Low General Disaster Assistance Program facilitated by Hawaiian Council.
Applicants must provide verifiable quotes, invoices, or other acceptable cost documentation for repairs or cleanup necessitated by the storms.
Applicants will be asked to submit documentation including identification, homeownership, principal residency, photos and descriptions of storm damage, contractor estimates or invoices.
OHA will use available storm impact data and recovery indicators to ensure grant awards are distributed fairly and proportionately across impacted islands and communities.
For more information contact OHA’s Strategy & Implementation Housing team at SIHousing@oha.org or the OHA Grants at grantsinfo@oha.org.
