GEM Hawaii Pacific was proud to join Mayor Richard Bissen and other County of Maui leaders in gathering with about 100 Moloka‘i residents on Sunday, April 19, 2026, to hear firsthand about recent storm impacts. “We know that for rural communities like Moloka‘i, accessing services can come with added challenges,” Mayor Bissen said.
“That’s why it’s important that we bring government to our Moloka‘i residents, listen to their concerns and needs, and work together across agencies and with community partners to ensure support reaches families and meets needs on the ground. Clients shared that they felt seen and heard, and many made meaningful progress in their recovery—completing TANF applications, updating documents, and revising their recovery plans.”
We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to partner in this work and to serve the community in such a tangible and impactful way. We’re here every step of the way. Mahalo to @govjoshgreen for his leadership in bringing this vital program to Hawai‘i.

Program för hyreshjälp för FEMA-berättigade
Fas 1: Omedelbar respons
Vårt GEM BStrong-team är nu på plats i Maui, Hawaii, för att hjälpa dem som har drabbats hårt av skogsbränderna. Vår omedelbara hjälp kommer i form av våra BStrong-kontantkort, som ger överlevande flexibilitet att köpa de förnödenheter de behöver mest. Vi kommer också att erbjuda Airbnb-hjälp med korttidsboende, långsiktiga boendelösningar, återuppbyggnadsprojekt och hjälp med inköp av entreprenörsverktyg till dem vars hem har skadats allvarligt eller förstörts helt i bränderna. Vi kommer också att erbjuda stöd till drabbade husdjur. Vårt team kommer att vara på plats på obestämd tid och se till att de på Maui får så mycket långsiktigt stöd som behövs.
GEM kommer nu att arbeta från vårt nya kontor på Maui, som är öppet för att hjälpa till med långsiktiga bostadsansökningar, våra BStrong kontanthjälpskort och annan hjälp.
Långsiktiga bostadslösningar
GEM erbjuder för närvarande långsiktig bostadshjälp till dem som har tvingats flytta efter bränderna i Lahaina. Genom det här programmet hjälper vi till att minska boendekostnaderna för familjer som måste flytta till nya utrymmen. Vi kommer också att förse dessa hem med grundläggande förnödenheter i våra GEM Welcome Home Kits.
