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.

Yesterday in Kalaeloa, we blessed Hale o Kumumamo, DHHL’s first-ever transitional housing project for Native Hawaiian beneficiaries who have been experiencing houselessness. This site will provide safe, dignified housing for 18 people from the DHHL waitlist, along with wraparound services to help them get off the streets, back into the workforce and back with their families.

What makes this special is how it came together, a former military building transformed into a real home through more than $6.4 million in federal funding and brought to life by our partners at Kealahou West O‘ahu, who will manage the site and support residents every step of the way. This is what it looks like when government, nonprofits and community pull in the same direction. It’s not just housing and healthcare it’s a fresh start, and it starts right here. ...

As we celebrate Christmas and the holiday season, I want to wish every family across our islands peace, joy and good health. This time of year is about coming together — looking out for each other, sharing aloha and making sure everyone has what they need.

If you or your ʻohana received Hawaiʻi Emergency Food Assistance Program (HEFAP) funds on your SNAP card, please make sure to use those benefits before they expire on Dec. 31, 2025 — any unused balance can’t be carried over into the new year.

May this season bring rest, renewal and a little extra light to every home across our islands. ... See MoreSee Less

Happy to have the whole family back together for Christmas. The kids asked to visit the Giving Machines again as they were excited to take part in giving back to our community.

Jaime and I are honored to serve as co-chairs of the Light the World Giving Machines once more, especially as Hawaiʻi is home to 11 Giving Machines across six locations in three counties—from Ala Moana, Pearlridge, and the Polynesian Cultural Center to Whalers Village, Prince Kūhiō Plaza, and Queen’s Marketplace.

These machines offer a direct and meaningful way to support 16 local nonprofits whose work strengthens families and communities, while also featuring trusted global charities that allow Hawaiʻi to extend aloha far beyond our shores. If you can, please consider giving back this holiday season.

Wishing you all a safe and merry holiday season! ... See MoreSee Less
