The Hawaii Department of Human Services has announced that its Disaster Case Management Program (DCMP) will continue to operate, providing ongoing support to survivors of the Maui wildfires. The extension ensures that specialized assistance remains available for those affected by last year’s disaster.
According to the department, the DCMP offers help in accessing resources and services needed for recovery. This includes connecting wildfire survivors with housing, healthcare, and other forms of aid as they rebuild their lives.
The Hawaii State Executive – Governor supports communities impacted by wildfires and promotes social recovery efforts through various initiatives. The governor’s office is also engaged in expanding healthcare access, addressing homelessness with housing programs, and supporting recovery from events such as wildfires, according to information available on the official website.
Support for regions like Lahaina is part of broader state policies aimed at helping wildfire-impacted areas. The governor’s office advances safe housing options, improves healthcare access, addresses affordability through tax reforms and housing initiatives, and encourages renewable energy efforts. These commitments include honoring veterans and fostering statewide collaboration on key issues (source).
“The Disaster Case Management Program continues to be a critical resource for our residents who are still recovering from the devastating impacts of the Maui wildfires,” said Trista Speer, Deputy Director of the Department of Human Services. “Our team remains committed to providing personalized support so that every survivor can access the help they need.”
The department emphasized that it will continue working with local partners and agencies to ensure survivors have comprehensive assistance during their recovery process.
