Maui Recovery 3 Years Later | Honolulu News
Description
Three years after the Maui wildfires, progress is visible but fragile: housing stability has improved, with fewer displaced households, yet financial aid has plummeted even as it remains the top unmet need. Survivors struggle to access resources, and while some have returned to West Maui, many still face unstable living conditions. Employment remains dire—with only 42% working full-time, down from 62% pre-fire—and more people are exiting the labor force altogether. Reconstruction in Lahaina and West Maui promises future job growth and return, but trauma recovery continues to delay some residents’ return. The University of Hawaii will continue tracking this evolving recovery through its fourth year.
