ADU Loan Forgiveness Program
How it Works
Addressing the need for more housing on the island of Maui to assist displaced families after the wildfires, CNHA is seeking homeowners who are willing to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU).
Interested homeowners will need to have approved plans and permits to proceed with building prior to applying for a forgivable loan of up to $50,000. The loan will be forgiven after a homeowner has hosted a displaced, fire-impacted family for three years.
Minimum Required Documents to Apply
Identification
Verification you are the homeowner
Approved ADU Building Plans
Approved Building Permit

I am trying to provide housing for those affected by the wildfire. Will the expedited permitting process be allowed?
If your parcel is within the burned zone and your permit is to construct a permanent dwelling, you may use the new emergency permitting process.
