A new Immigrant Resource Center will be operating at Pacific Gateway to help immigrants and migrants impacted by the West Maui wildfire, according to a Thursday news release.
The state-funded program will be based on O‘ahu, Maui and Kaua‘i, providing translation in six languages.
The center had team members on Maui after the Aug. 8 wildfire devastated Lāhainā and displaced residents, many of whom are not eligible or have limited access to funds and other services.
The initiative launched a multilingual hotline for immigrants and migrants, with translation in Marshallese, Chuukese, Spanish, Tongan, Ilocano and Tagalog.
Other services include shelter, rent and utilities, medical, unemployment insurance and more.
