Our Programs

Neighbor Island House Program (NIHP) offers the following services for those with qualifying disabilities:

Tenant-Based Rental Assistance

  • Offers assistance to individual households, helping them afford the housing costs of market-rate units.
  • Assistance that moves with the tenant—if the household no longer wishes to rent a particular unit, the household may take it to another rental property.
  • The level of subsidy varies and is based upon the income of the household and the particular unit the household selects.
