Congratulations to the collegiate class of 2026! We are proud of your accomplishment! Also, give a big mahalo to our EMS workers for their extraordinary work in saving lives, especially during the natural disasters we've faced.
State officials have confirmed additional temporary housing is available on other islands. Residents on neighboring islands whose homes suffered severe storm damage and are temporarily uninhabitable may be placed in available short-term rentals if they need housing assistance.

I urge my colleagues of both parties in Congress to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits now. We can’t afford to delay because lives are at stake.

Due to the ongoing federal shutdown, Hawaiʻi families may experience disruptions to SNAP benefits. @GovJoshGreenMD has launched the Hawai‘i Relief Program to provide housing and utility payment assistance, as well as $2 million in support for food banks statewide.
It’s day 22 of the federal government shutdown, but we will not let our people suffer. I recently announced the Hawai‘i Relief Program, which will use $100M of TANF funds to subsidize rent and utilities for our most vulnerable.
Hawai‘i is in the midst of an affordable housing crisis, but the commitment to providing solutions for our low-income residents and eliminating homelessness in the state remains unwavering.
Outstanding partners continue to support the Kauhale Intiative, Hawaiian Home Lands lot selections and temporary housing for Maui that will eventually be converted into permanent affordable housing units.
It's our responsibility to ensure our communities remain protected and informed. That’s why my fellow governors and I formed the West Coast Health Alliance. We are committed to prioritizing science and evidence-based practices to keep our people safe.
In a recent interview with MSNBC News, I spoke about the vital importance of vaccines in safeguarding public health, especially in light of the misinformation coming from the federal level. We cannot afford confusion when it comes to vaccinations.
UFC’s commitment to Hawaiʻi is clear — from this support for Maui’s recovery to champions like @BlessedMMA, who embodies the resilience and values of our people.
We’re proving that when community, government, and partners join forces, we can build not just housing, but hope.
I’m grateful to @danawhite and @ufc for stepping up with a $1.2 million contribution to HomeAid Hawaiʻi’s Maui Housing Initiative. Their generosity is helping us deliver homes and community spaces for wildfire survivors giving them stability they deserve.
