Infrastructure & Public Facilities

The Infrastructure and Public Facilities Program provides CDBG-DR gap funding in the form of a subsidy or a loan to repair, upgrade, and construct essential infrastructure and public facilities damaged or affected by the 2023 Maui Wildfires. The program addresses long-term recovery and resilience needs across transportation, water, sewer, and public service facilities. Funds will be prioritized for projects that serve Low- and Moderate-Income (LMI) populations or demonstrate urgent need.

The County will evaluate and prioritize infrastructure investments based on wildfire-related impacts, mitigation potential, cost-effectiveness, and community benefit. Projects must comply with all HUD CDBG-DR eligibility and environmental requirements. Projects may include, but are not limited to:

  • Repair, upgrade, or reconstruct disaster-damaged infrastructure and public facilities.
  • Improve drainage and stormwater systems to reduce future flood risk.
  • Support road, water, and sewer improvements that aid in housing and economic recovery.
  • Construct or reconstruct public facilities, including health and wellness facilities, fire stations, and emergency shelters.
  • Restore eligible historic public properties in compliance with applicable preservation requirements. 
  • Develop public transit, parking, and traffic infrastructure that supports recovery and accessibility.

The total allocation amount is $400,000,000.00
