This week, many in West Maui hotel shelters were reeling after learning that as of Nov. 30 some hotels were ending Red Cross contracts or reducing rooms in the program.
The current need is most pressing in Lahaina, but the rest of the state is also suffering from a lack of dignified housing.
The West Maui organizations are demanding long-term housing solutions for people displaced by the Lahaina fire.
Lahaina Strong was originally formed following the fires from Hurricane Lane in August 2018, and was reactivated after the deadly Aug. 8 fires, which killed at least 99 people.
