The Hawaii County Rent and Mortgage Assistance Program closed its application period effective Thursday.

The program’s six on-island nonprofit partners will process remaining applications in their pipelines and refer all RMAP applicants to additional services.

By the end of November, $8.25 million in housing assistance grants will have been disbursed, helping more than 3,500 island residents with housing payments since the program’s inception in August.

Individuals and households in need of housing assistance are encouraged to seek additional services including landlord-tenant mediation, assistance with requesting mortgage loan modifications, financial counseling, and other programs available on-island.

More information about these programs and recorded information sessions on these available services will be posted on the Hawaii County RMAP website at https://sites.google.com/view/hawaiicountyrmap.
