NEWS RELEASE
Hawai‘i County Rent and Mortgage Assistance Program (RMAP) Closes
Applications November 5
Six Hawaii Island-based nonprofit organizations joined today to announce the Hawaii
County Rent and Mortgage Assistance Program (RMAP) has closed its applications
effective November 5, 2020.
The program’s on-island nonprofit partners will process remaining applications in their
pipeline and refer all RMAP applicants to additional services.
By the end of November, a total of $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.
Those interested in accessing the recorded information sessions are encouraged to
check the website regularly. All recordings will be available by November 30, 2020.
