The KHAKO Rental Assistance Program (RAP) is a homelessness prevention program that provides direct rental assistance payments, supplemented by counseling and case management for a minimum of six (6) months to a year, to individuals and families moving from emergency shelter to permanent housing and Maui residents at risk of becoming homeless due to a temporary lack of financial resources.
UPDATE March 2025: We no longer have available funding at this time. Our program will continue to accept and process applications in the order they are received in the event that additional funding becomes available. We encourage you to consider reaching out to Family Life Center, MEO, or Catholic Charities as they may be able to assist you. We expect to have new funding available July 1, 2025.
