Maui County launched its Housing Navigator Program on October 1, taking over disaster case management for wildfire-displaced families from the State of Hawaii. Contractor BDO, MEO, and Hawaiian Council will jointly deliver services, with all current participants expected to be contacted by October 23.
- The County of Maui’s new Housing Navigator Program officially replaced the State’s Disaster Case Management Program on October 1, 2026.
- Contractor BDO will administer the program, with MEO handling eligibility reviews and Hawaiian Council providing the navigator team.
