A Kihei resident shared their experience of houselessness during a Kona Low storm, highlighting the support provided by Maui resources.

Honolulu, HI, October 23, 2026 —
A Kihei resident shared an account of experiencing houselessness during a Kona Low storm, highlighting support provided by Maui resources. The account brings together two details: the resident’s housing circumstances during the storm and the assistance they said was available through resources on Maui.
The resident’s name and the date of the storm were not provided. The available information also does not describe where the resident stayed, what specific assistance they received, which organizations or programs were involved, or how long the support lasted. No details were provided about the resident’s circumstances before or after the storm.
The account identifies Maui resources as a source of support, but does not specify whether that support involved shelter, supplies, services or another form of assistance. It also does not include statements from service providers or public agencies, or figures on how many people sought help during the storm.
As a result, the information describes one resident’s experience without establishing the scale of need or the broader response. Further details about the assistance and the timing of events were not available in the summary. The account’s central point is that a Kihei resident experienced houselessness during a Kona Low storm and highlighted support from Maui resources; more specific information about that support was not provided.
