Maui braces for possible end to FEMA rental assistance and more housing strain for fire survivors
Nearly 1,000 Maui wildfire survivors face losing federal rental aid as FEMA weighs ending housing assistance amid scarce rental options and rising costs, Hawaii Emergency Management Agency said.
- Nearly 1,000 households displaced by catastrophic wildfires in Maui are awaiting whether federal rental assistance will expire in February 2026, forcing them to find new housing or pay more in an expensive rental market.
- FEMA has provided housing assistance for two and a half years, but the Trump administration wants to diminish its role and shift more responsibility to states.
- Advocates warn that ending assistance could lead to more homelessness and departures from Maui, undermining recovery efforts in the town of Lahaina that was largely destroyed.
