Get rental financial assistance for eligible kūpuna (62yr+) from DHHL Kūpuna Rental Subsidy Program

CNHA and DHHL Kūpuna Rental Subsidy Program provides rental subsidies for eligible kūpuna (62 years or older) on the DHHL Wait List in Hawaiʻi. The rental subsidies will allow kūpuna in need to remain safely housed in their rental unit and position themselves to accept a DHHL lease when they are awarded.

Program recipients will pay up to 30 percent of their total household income towards their rent, and the program will cover the remainder of the rent. The program subsidy may only be used for rental payments and will go directly to the program recipient’s landlord. Applicants are eligible for up to 12 months in rental subsidies with an option to renew subject to the availability of funds.
