FEMA began moving temporary housing units from the staging site in Lahaina to private and secondary sites on Thursday.

The agency says the work will provide further available housing for wildfire survivors in West Maui and take place over the next several weeks.

According to FEMA, six temporary housing units will be placed on private sites in Lahaina, and 40 more temporary housing units will be placed on three secondary sites in Lahaina in the weeks to come.

Unit movement is expected to result in minimal traffic disruptions as the units travel the approximately two-mile distance to their destinations. The goal is to finish moving the units before the new school year starts.

FEMA housing is temporary and will remain available for eligible participants while they continue to seek permanent housing solutions.
