Habitat for Humanity Maui receives $3 million from Jeff Bezos, Lauren Sanchez to support affordable housing

More than 70 volunteers worked alongside Habitat Maui’s partner families on a number of different projects.

On Tuesday, Habitat for Humanity Maui announced that it has received a $3 million donation from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez.

According to Habitat Maui, the donation stands as one of the largest in the organization’s history, and the money will directly support Habitat Maui’s ongoing efforts to address Maui’s urgent need for affordable housing, especially in light of the recent wildfires and the worsening housing crisis on the island.

“This donation is a game changer,” said Matt Bachman, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Maui, in a statement. “It comes at a time when so many families in our community are in desperate need of safe, affordable homes. It allows us to make a real difference by helping families rebuild their lives and offering them the stability that comes with homeownership.”

The $3 million donation will be used to expand Habitat Maui’s affordable housing programs, repair and rebuild homes damaged by the wildfires, and increase access to homeownership for local families.
