Local 5 helps members apply for the Honolulu Rental & Utility Relief Program

A Union organizer was speaking with a Local 5 member who was having difficulty filling out the rent relief application. The organizer connected this member with Haley Oki, a Local 5 member who has taken a leave of absence to work with us on the Honolulu Rental & Utility Relief Program (RURP). Haley helped this member collect documents and fill out the application from start to finish with her insight and guidance as a trained intake specialist.
