Are you stressed out about how you are going to keep a roof over your head? Do you need help with rent or mortgage but don’t know where to find it? Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura is going live this Thursday, September 17, 2020 at 6:00 PM on AKAKU 54 to bring all these resources together in one “easy to understand” place.

Learn about the resources available, where they come from and how to acquire the support first hand from the program administrators. “There are so many resources right now that are being underutilized, we need to get them into the hands of our Maui County citizens,” shared Councilmember Yuki Lei Sugimura. “Having a safe place to shelter and quarantine is vital at this time with COVID numbers still fluctuating.
