The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is seeking nonprofit organizations to administer its FY27 Mālama Honua Grant for Nonprofits, a home repair program intended to help Native Hawaiian families remain safely housed.

The pilot program will serve income-qualified Native Hawaiian homeowners who are unable to access traditional financing because of income or credit limitations. Selected nonprofit partners will administer grants to homeowners for critical repairs that address documented health and safety hazards and other conditions that threaten the habitability of their homes.

“The ability to remain safely in one’s home is foundational to family stability and community well-being,” said OHA Board Chair Kaialiʻi Kahele. “Through the Mālama Honua Grant for Nonprofits, OHA is investing in community partnerships that preserve housing, strengthen neighborhoods, and improve the quality of life for Native Hawaiian families.”

Nonprofits interested in administering the program may submit a letter of interest from July 15 to 29 through OHA’s grants portal at oha.org/grants. OHA said it is not accepting applications from individual homeowners at this stage.

OHA is also seeking volunteer grant evaluators with expertise in residential construction or home repair, affordable housing or housing policy, nonprofit housing services or community development.
