People in Hawai‘i and all across the country are struggling just to get by right now.
These are not bureaucratic mix-ups. Every day this money doesn't get to where it's supposed to go; every contribution, worth hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars, is delayed, people go hungry. People get sick. People die.
As soon as a disaster strikes, HUD will be able to help communities begin the process of recovery.
This is a big win for Hawai‘i. With millions more in Medicare funding for Hawai‘i hospitals every year, seniors across the state will continue to have access to the health care services they need.
