DBEDT NEWS RELEASE: STATE LAUNCHES HAWAI"I FIRE RELIEF HOUSING INITIATIVES

Press Release

"I really want to thank the leadership of our West Maui hotels who worked expeditiously to open up their rooms for our survivors. Kelly Sanders, Executive Vice President, and Yvette Kitagawa, Complex Director of Rooms, at the Royal Lāhainā Resort were among the first to raise their hands in this effort, and their drive to make it happen will bring much-needed comfort to the survivors they host.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

We are asking folks in the community to rent out those extra rooms, the "ohana units or accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in their homes, vacation rentals, or whatever safe and secure rooms they have available."
