We have a short window of opportunity to come together in the spirit of transparency, accountability, and genuine kokua to move ahead and make sure those who need resources get them and are able to stay in their homes,” said Jeff Gilbreath, Director of Lending and Development for Hawai‘i Community Lending. “We need every leader of every community and every business, who is willing to join us in promoting RMAP, to help us think outside the box so we can provide relief to renters, homeowners, landlords, and mortgage companies.” Invitations will be sent and community and business leaders are encouraged to register below to attend. Meetings will be open to the public with comments limited to invited attendees. All meetings will be recorded and placed on the Hawai‘i RMAP website for later viewing.
