Applications Accepted | Rental & Utility Relief Program

July 7, 2021

The City and County of Honolulu encourages people and families who are experiencing hardship from the pandemic to apply for the Rental and Utility Relief Program at oneoahu.org/renthelp. The program will accept 10,000 applications this round and has received 6,000 as of June 10.

“Helping struggling individuals and families to get back on their feet is a top priority. We encourage renters who have not already applied to visit oneoahu.org/renthelp to learn more. On the webpage you can review the Frequently Asked Questions, watch a webinar about the program, and click on the link to apply,” said Executive Director of the Office of Economic Revitalization Amy Asselbaye.

In addition, landlords can apply on behalf of their tenants, with their tenants’ written consent.

To qualify, a household must demonstrate financial hardship due to COVID-19 and meet income limits, currently $62,950 for a family of four. A household can also qualify if at least one member has been unemployed for 90 days or more when applying.

Households that applied in previous rounds should not apply again. Duplicate applications may be declined and will delay the review of applications from other households in need.

For households that qualify, the program will pay:

  • Up to $2,500 a month for unpaid rent and bills for electricity, sewer and water, and gas
  • Up to $2,000 a month for current or future rent payments
  • Up to $500 a month for current or future bills for electricity, water and sewer, and gas
  • Bills going back to March 13, 2020, current bills, or three months of future bills
  • Payments can be made for up to 12 months

Future rounds of applications will open the first working Monday of each month, as long as the program has funding.

Please visit oneoahu.org/renthelp to review the Frequently Asked Questions. The community can also call the City’s call center at (808) 768-CITY (2489). The call center is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., seven days a week, excluding City holidays.
