NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

ERAP on short-term pause

The Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) has temporarily paused intake of new applications. HCEOC is one of several nonprofits in the county running this program, which channels funds to families needing urgent assistance with rental and utility payments. Once all current applications have been processed, ERAP will again accept new applications; we anticipate this may happen by the end of September.

For current ERAP applicants, applications will continue to be processed and the pause will not affect fund disbursement.

For future ERAP applicants, we recommend visiting HawaiiCountyERAP.org to access free financial resources to support you and your family during this pause
Mahalo to our ERAP Team for their continued hard work!

Support HCEOC at the pump!

We have one more month to raise funds for HCEOC with the Ohana Fuels 'Fuel Up. Do Good.' sponsorship! All month, Ohana Fuels will donate a portion of gas purchases at Hawaii Island Ohana Fuels stations to HCEOC. Learn more from our press release and visit an Ohana Fuels station near you to support our community action programs.

Through September 30, you can support HCEOC by purchasing gas at any of the 14 Ohana Fuels locations on the Big IslandYou can also help spread the word by saving and sending the images above, or sharing on Facebook or Instagram. We appreciate all support during this final stretch!
