Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) issued the following statement after the U.S. Department of Labor announced an incremental award of $2.5 million to continue employment and training services for those impacted by the Maui wildfires:
"I am happy to announce that $2.5 million in incremental funding through the National Dislocated Worker Grant (NDWG) has been released for Hawaiʻi to further support workers and communities impacted by the Maui wildfires. While this is good news for our Maui ʻohana, I will continue to push the U.S. Department of Labor to make available any and all remaining NDWG funds that can be used as intended through September 2025."
