Ho'ōla iā Mauiakama Disaster Long Term Recovery Group (Maui's LTRG) is focused on building a resilient community where every Maui wildfire survivor has the resources, support, and opportunities to recover and build a stronger future.
We’re committed to ensuring that no one is left behind as we work to create a stronger, more resilient Maui for future generations.
We believe recovery happens when survivors lead their own journey with compassionate support every step of the way. Disaster case management isn't just about connecting people to resources—it's about honoring the trauma families have endured while centering their voices, choices, and cultural needs as they rebuild their lives.
We focus on housing because safe, stable shelter is the bedrock of healthy communities. After the wildfires destroyed over 1,300 homes in Lahaina, families face an unprecedented housing crisis layered on top of Hawaiʻi's existing shortage. Our committee guides rebuild efforts that honor cultural practices while meeting the urgent need for homes that families can afford to build and maintain.
We know that lasting recovery grows from the roots of community relationships and cultural practices that have sustained Maui for generations. Our committee ensures that all programs honor local wisdom, center Native Hawaiian leadership, and strengthen the networks that make communities resilient.
We honor the spirit of kōkua that brings people from across the world to support Maui's recovery. Our committee ensures that every volunteer feels welcomed and every donation serves families with dignity, while maintaining the storage and logistics systems that make generosity possible at scale.
We believe transparency and authentic storytelling build the trust that communities need to heal together. Our committee ensures that recovery stories are shared with dignity while holding space for both grief and hope, always centering survivor voices and community-led solutions.

If you need support: Connect with us for rebuild guidance, contractor vetting, help navigating permits and septic conversions, or exploring affordable housing options like ADUs. We're here when construction delays happen or barriers arise.
