Good to know
Hawaii does not have a state paid family and medical leave program listed in the official state agency directories reviewed. No separate state general assistance agency was identified; DHS administers General Assistance. Hawaii participates in SUN Bucks for Summer 2026. State agency sources reviewed did not confirm a state rental assistance application portal or a domestic violence program application URL, so none is listed.
