Maui County launched its Housing Navigator Program on October 1, taking over disaster case management services from the State for households displaced by the 2023 wildfires. Contractor BDO, Maui Economic Opportunity, and Hawaiian Council will jointly administer the program, with all current participants to be contacted by October 23.
- Case management for wildfire-displaced households transitions from the State’s DCMP to a new County-run Housing Navigator Program starting October 1.
- Current participants do not need to restart their recovery plans — navigators will build on existing progress.
- BDO will administer the program, with MEO handling eligibility reviews and Hawaiian Council providing the navigator team.
- Each enrolled household will be assigned a dedicated Housing Navigator who will also attend their next FEMA recertification meeting.
- All current program participants should expect to be contacted by October 23 and are advised to continue pursuing housing goals in the meantime.
