A mortgage assistance event will be held today and Saturday in Kaanapali to provide support for homeowners and business owners who have been impacted by the Maui wildfires.
The state Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs Division of Financial Institutions is hosting the event from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days at the Hyatt Regency Maui Resort and Spa's Monarchy ballrooms 1 and 2, formerly the site of the American Red Cross Family Assistance Center.
The event is to provide an opportunity for borrowers to receive in-person assistance and discuss all available options with their financial institutions or mortgage servicers. Community and federal housing counselors and organizations will also be accessible to provide further guidance on other options for homeowners.
"We believe the face-to-face interaction with our banks and servicers will provide useful information as we work toward recovery," Iris Ikeda, Hawaii banking commissioner, said in a news release Thursday. "This event will provide homeowners with options before the 90-day forbearance period expires in December 2023."
