Food Resources
A wide range of grocery, meal services, and other food resources are available for Hawaiʻi’s families and our kūpuna.
COVID-19 Testing
Hawaiʻi authorities are offering thousands of free and low-cost COVID-19 tests to Oahu residents in hopes of getting a handle on how wide the virus has spread.
If you get sick…
Please contact HPHA right away if you, or a family member has tested positive for COVID-19. We are ready to provide vital assistance so that you can concentrate on recovery.
COVID-19 Community Meals Program
The Hawaiʻi Public Housing Authority is operating a short-term meal program for individuals who are one or more of the following:
1) 65 years or older
2) disabled individuals
3) individuals who recently tested COVID- 19 positive or have been exposed to COVID-19 and are in quarantine.
Aloha,
Throughout this time, the Hawaii Public Housing Authority (HPHA) was hoping to capture additional funding into the Aloha Cares Emergency Feeding Program (ACEFP) to include new participants, however, due to funding limitations, we are no longer able to continue this program.
Please know that if future funding does become available, registration will only be done through an online portal through this website for a limited number of spaces. Unfortunately, we do not know if the program will be continued in the future, so please check the website for any additional information. As such, we are not holding any previously submitting applications or maintaining a waiting list.
The COVID-19 emergency period is undoubtedly one of the most life-changing events that we have seen in modern times, and if future funding is available, the HPHA stands ready to continue to assist our community.
Thank you and stay safe.
HPHA Public Housing Outreach and Education Efforts Against COVID-19

On July 1, 2021, the Department of Health Public Health Nurses and Hawaii National Guard provided door to door COVID-19 outreach and education to the Kuhio Homes and Kuhio Park Terrace Low-Rise public housing communities.
On August 13, 2021, the Department of Health Public Health Nurses and Hawaii National Guard provided door to door COVID-19 outreach and education to the Waimaha-Sunflower, Kau’iokalani, Maili I, Maili II, and Nanakuli Homes public housing communities
HPHA Public Housing Vaccination Efforts Against COVID-19
Keeping you up-to-date
COVID-19 Pandemic — Vaccination Clinics
The HPHA is working with the State Department of Health, State Executive Office on Aging, City and County of Honolulu Department of Community Services Elderly Affairs Division, American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Hawaii Public Health Institute, Project Vision, Hawaii Pacific Health Medical Group, Kaiser Permanente, Queens Medical Center, 5 Minute Pharmacy, Pharmacare, Times Pharmacy, Papa Ola Lokahi, Kamehameha Schools, and other non-profit groups to conduct safe and convenient COVID-19 vaccination clinics at our public housing properties.
The elderly and disabled tenants were addressed first, with family properties being currently administered now that Hawaii residents 12 years and older are eligible for vaccinations. The collaborative effort has focused on vulnerable populations, especially for those in underserved communities who speak English as their second language and may not know how to navigate the healthcare system or vaccination registration process.
The Queens Health Systems nurses and medical personnel gather to game plan and pray for the Kamehameha and Kaahumanu Homes vaccination event on May 4, 2021.
