Governor Josh Green

Governor Josh Green is a proud husband, father, and physician. For the past 20 years, Governor Green cared for Big Island families as a doctor. He served in the State House of Representatives and the State Senate from 2004 to 2018. As chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, he passed “Luke’s Law,” which provides care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as tobacco and e-cigarette regulations, which increased the legal age for purchasing tobacco and e-cigarettes to 21. Passionate about housing solutions, Governor Green helped create “Kauhale” communities to get unsheltered veterans, kūpuna, and others into safe housing options. These efforts are ongoing and will continue to be one of his top priorities as Governor.  Governor Green expanded the role of Lieutenant Governor by spearheading the largest healthcare response in state history during the COVID pandemic. These critical emergency efforts resulted in Hawaiʻi having the nation’s lowest COVID-19 fatality rate.

Our hearts are with every family and individual impacted by the recent Kona Low storms. On Thursday, I traveled to Maui to see the damage firsthand and meet members of the community who were affected.

I met with Maui County Mayor Bissen, the Maui Emergency Management Agency, the Red Cross and FEMA while visiting ‘Īao Valley, Kihei and Kula Hospital to better understand the full scope of the destruction and what our communities need most.

The community’s strength and resilience in the face of such hardship are a reminder of why we must act with urgency. We are committed to doing everything in our power to support Maui’s recovery — and we will not stop until the work is done. ... See MoreSee Less

State officials have confirmed additional temporary housing is available on other islands. Residents on neighboring islands whose homes suffered severe storm damage and are temporarily uninhabitable may be placed in available short-term rentals if they need housing assistance.

Call: 211

The damage from the Kona Low storms have left homes uninhabitable, displacing many families and residents.

The Governor, Mayor and State Officials are urgently coordinating safe temporary housing for displaced residents. The back-to-back storms caused significant damage in parts of the west side and communities surrounding the North Shore, leaving several households unable to safely return to their homes.

Temporary housing assistance will be limited to residents whose primary residence is currently unsafe or uninhabitable due to storm damage.

The State has secured pet friendly hotel rooms at The Inn at Schofield Barracks (563 Kolekole Ave., Wahiawā) through April 30, with additional units available in Honolulu for affected residents. Participants must provide information to pass a background check, as the location is on base. More locations on Oʻahu and neighboring islands are on the way.

Officials will continue damage assessments statewide and additional housing assistance will be provided as needed.

Residents impacted by the storm are encouraged to call Aloha United Way at 211 and indicate the required housing assistance due to the Kona Low storms, at which point they will be referred to the appropriate resource.

Residents may also register for assistance online at ready.hawaii.gov.

We are working urgently to provide the support our communities need. ... See MoreSee Less
