The Hawaiian Council will begin administering the Office of Hawaiian Affairs’ (OHA) $6.1 million Emergency Assistance Program to support Native Hawaiian beneficiaries impacted by the ongoing federal government shutdown and the suspension of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits.

Starting Mon., Nov. 10, eligible applicants can visit Hawaiiancouncil.org/oha-relief for full details and to access the online application portal. The site will feature two separate applications:

• Native Hawaiians who have lost or experienced reduced SNAP benefits, and
• Native Hawaiian federal civilian workers who have been furloughed or are experiencing pay interruptions due to the current federal shutdown.
