Funds will prioritize grants for residents and families impacted by historic flooding, with additional support available for recovery partners
HONOLULU, Hawaii — March 30, 2026 — Associa Cares, Associa’s nonprofit organization that provides financial assistance to families affected by natural and man-made disasters, has earmarked $100,000 to support residents and communities impacted by the historic flooding devastating parts of Hawaii.
The funding will prioritize direct grants to individuals and families whose homes have been damaged or destroyed. Associa Hawaii team members are actively working within affected communities to assess conditions, support residents, and help clear impacted areas.
“Our hearts are with every resident, family and community facing the aftermath of these floods,” said Danika Knoop, executive director of Associa Cares. “In times like these, the most important thing we can do is respond with compassion and urgency. By prioritizing direct grants to individuals, we hope to provide meaningful relief to those facing damage, displacement, and uncertainty.”
