Recovery Program grants for Native Hawaiian Education Association and Imua Family Services
Maui County
Summary
Bill 29 would send $390,000 to finish renovating the Ke Ola Hou Community Resiliency Center serving Lahaina wildfire survivors, and $758,973 to Imua Family Services, which burned through $1.5 million in donor funds on county-required off-site infrastructure. Members questioned the leased site's long-term value and whether contracts were competitively bid.

Impact analysis
Roughly $1.15 million in conditional funding, with total county investment in Ke Ola Hou approaching $2.5 million on a leased property.
Wildfire survivors needing behavioral health services, and Maui children who will attend the Imua inclusion preschool.
Taxpayers face risk if the lease expires in 2027 and improvements made with county funds benefit the private landowner.
