The Wildfires Disaster Case Management Program has shifted from state to county leadership, with Maui County now coordinating recovery support for wildfire survivors. A key focus will be preparing residents for the end of FEMA Temporary Housing Assistance in February 2027.
- Gov. Green and Mayor Bissen announced the program transition from the Hawaii Dept. of Human Services to Maui County effective immediately.
- The program, launched in November 2023, connects wildfire survivors with case managers for housing, healthcare, and financial assistance.
- Current enrollees will experience no interruption in services and do not need to take any action.
- A major near-term priority is helping survivors navigate the February 2027 expiration of FEMA Temporary Housing Assistance.
- Survivors not yet enrolled can sign up by calling 211 or emailing WildfiresDCMP@gem.org.
