Resource Summary

The Aloha United Way 211 Hawaiʻi helpline is the only comprehensive, community information and referral helpline in Hawaiʻi with a database of over 1,400 agencies and 4,000 programs. Offering a lifeline to those in need, 211 is powered by local experts who are trained to understand complex problems and connect individuals to essential resources on every island, in every zip code.

You may also get connected to Disaster Case Management through this resource. Supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), disaster case management is a program that connects survivors of disasters with specially trained disaster case managers (DCMs) to help assess and address their needs through a disaster recovery plan, which includes resources, decision-making priorities, providing guidance, and tools. A DCM will serve as a survivor’s “quarterback” for the next two to five years, assisting the survivor to develop a unique and comprehensive recovery plan, and then assisting the survivor in connecting with the referrals and resources to meet those needs. The program will offer services to all survivors who are impacted by the Maui wildfires, regardless of their FEMA eligibility or application status.
