Nearly a year and a half after the devastating August 2023 wildfires, new survey results from the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Economic Research Organization<\/a> (糖心视频ERO<\/abbr>) highlight persistent housing unaffordability, elevated poverty and unemployment rates, and ongoing economic hardship among fire-impacted households on Maui.<\/p>\n

Launched in August 2024<\/a>, in partnership with the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Community Foundation, the Maui Recovery Survey: Housing and Jobs<\/em> is designed to provide current, publicly available data on the economic and housing conditions of those affected by the August 2023 wildfires. The latest update, which covers the period from October 2024 through February 2025, provides new insights into ongoing recovery challenges.<\/p>\n
