U.S. Senator Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) today announced that the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will allocate an additional $13.9 million under the American Rescue Plan to help prevent evictions and provide relief for Hawai‘i renters impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“For renters who have lost jobs or had hours cut, this additional federal money will help them stay in their homes and pay for utility bills,” said Senator Schatz, a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee. “While we keep working to bring back more federal relief, this new funding will be a big help.”
The $13.9 million in new funding includes:
- County of Hawai‘i – $1.8 million
- City and County of Honolulu – $12 million
