The County of Hawaiʻi Emergency Rental Assistance Program (ERAP) is no longer accepting applications, and all available funds have been expended as of September 30, 2025.
ERAP was relaunched in partnership with Neighborhood Place of Puna in May 2024 as a comprehensive response to homelessness and housing affordability. It was designed to help Hawai‘i Island resident households that experienced economic hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic and are struggling to pay their rent. ERAP provided rental assistance payments and housing stability services to eligible households.
