“Getting by” can still mean hard choices. Even after a full week of work, one unexpected bill can change what goes in the grocery cart.

The Kamaʻāina Credit for ALICE Households Pilot Program offers working households on Maui, Molokai, and Lānaʻi a little more breathing room.

Through a randomized selection process, eligible households are chosen to receive 12 months of financial assistance and monthly support from a care coordinator. The assistance is not a loan and does not need to be repaid.

🔴 Visit the link in our bio to check the income guidelines and other eligibility requirements and apply by November 20, 2026.

🔵 Questions about the application? Email AidKit Support at support@muwalicecredit.aidkit.org.

HELP SOMEONE YOU KNOW APPLY

Help spread the word! Share this opportunity with an eligible neighbor, coworker, friend, or family member.

The Kamaʻāina Credit for ALICE Households Pilot Program, funded by the County of Maui, is designed to support working households across Maui, Molokai, and Lānaʻi who earn too much to qualify for certain traditional assistance programs but still struggle to make ends meet.

The program will provide approximately 910 eligible households with 12 months of financial assistance and light-touch care coordination to help strengthen household stability.

Recognizing that the need across Maui County is far greater than this limited pilot can meet, the program also includes a 12-month longitudinal study to better understand the factors that influence household stability over time. Findings may help inform future programs and expand support for more working families.

📅 Applications close November 20, 2026.
