The Office of Hawaiian Affairs board approved a motion directing administration to develop and administer the Malama Onua home improvement and renovation program in fiscal year 2027 through a competitive grants process to identify third-party collaborators.
During the Budget and Finance item, a trustee moved on the record: “I'd like to move to approve administration to develop and administer the Malama Onua home improvement and renovation program in fiscal year 20 27 through a competitive grants process to identify third party collaborators.” The motion was taken up by roll call and the secretary announced six yes votes; the motion passed.
The recorded discussion on the motion on the transcript did not include a detailed implementation timeline, a named administrator assigned to run the competitive grant process, or a specific budget line beyond the program title. Trustees who supported the motion indicated it was intended to authorize program development and a competitive approach for choosing third-party collaborators.
Next steps were not specified on the record during the meeting; the board’s approval authorizes staff to return with a program design and competitive process for future board consideration.
