Last verifiedSeptember 16, 2026 — verified against County of Maui Office of Recovery Public Services NOFA Version 2.0 dated September 8, 2026, the current official program page, the September 9 deadline-extension notice, and the September 9 Public Services Round 1 FAQs. Stale September 24 dates remain visible on some rendered PDF pages and on the separate live "Programs Open for Application" page; those stale references are non-controlling. Round 1 FAQ controls on QUEST duplication of benefits, LMI/presumed-benefit participation, citizenship status, procurement, and the $500,000 minimum total 24-month request are now incorporated into Atlas analysis.

Required next actionPrioritize Maui County nonprofit and public healthcare, behavioral-health, case-management, homelessness, child/family and health-navigation providers that can document a new service or a quantifiable expansion tied to the August 2023 Wildfires. Before outreach, verify each organization’s eligibility, authoritative recipient, business email, Email Opt-Out status, sent-history deduplication, and sufficient response time. Before package production, confirm active SAM.gov and Hawaii Compliance Express standing, disaster tie-back, LMI or approved Urgent Need national objective, reimbursement cash-flow capacity, required County templates and every Appendix 2 attachment. Use the September 9 Round 1 FAQs as controlling clarification during applicant screening and package strategy, especially for QUEST duplication-of-benefits, LMI/presumed-benefit documentation, participant citizenship-status requirements, procurement of contractors/vendors, and the $500,000 minimum total request across the 24-month eligible period. Re-check the Round 2 Q&A after September 28 before final package work.

Broad Eligibility

Eligible applicants include County of Maui departments, nonprofit organizations including 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities, and public agencies or authorities with capacity to deliver eligible public services in Maui County. Proposed work must be a new service or a quantifiable increase in an existing service, demonstrate August 2023 Wildfires disaster tie-back, meet the LMI Limited Clientele national objective or an approved Urgent Need objective, and serve eligible Maui County residents. For-profit entities are not eligible as subrecipients unless explicitly authorized under an approved eligible activity.

Atlas Analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score 99/100. The controlling County NOFA Version 2.0 explicitly prioritizes health and wellness, medical care, behavioral health, mental health counseling, crisis intervention, trauma-informed therapy, case management, health navigation, services for people experiencing homelessness, child services, and transportation access to healthcare. Scoring assigns 20% specifically to services targeting medical or mental health support. N9+ Fit 76/100 conditional: the application budget includes an equipment category and medical-service expansion is eligible, but any N9+ use must be applicant-led, necessary, reasonable, allocable, procurement-compliant and tied to a verified disaster-recovery service model; no device or technology purchase is presumed. QC Healthcare Fit 82/100 conditional because service-delivery staff and contractual costs may be eligible within a compliant healthcare program. Dr. Miltie direct-applicant fit 0/100 because for-profit entities are not eligible subrecipients unless specifically authorized, and this NOFA does not establish Dr. Miltie as an eligible direct applicant; any role would be as a properly procured vendor or partner to an eligible subrecipient. No mandatory match or cost-share requirement is stated in the controlling NOFA; leveraged funds may be identified but are not presented as a required match. Awards are reimbursement-based. Source-control warning verified September 16, 2026: the official NOFA is Version 2.0 and the County’s current Public Services page and September 9 extension notice control the October 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM HST deadline, but some visually rendered pages inside the linked official PDF still display stale Version 1.0 September 24 dates. Do not use those stale rendered-page dates for deadline control. The County’s live "Programs Open for Application" page was also still showing the obsolete September 24, 2026 at 5:00 PM application period when rechecked September 16, 2026; treat that page as stale and use the current Public Services page plus the September 9 extension notice for deadline control. Required attachments include active SAM.gov/UEI proof, HCE compliance, organizational chart, W-9, non-debarment certification, nonprofit governance/IRS/board materials as applicable, program and eligibility procedures, outreach/accessibility plans, partnership documentation if applicable, County budget and duplication-of-benefits templates, fiscal policies, personnel/conflict policies, key staff resumes, and audit materials as applicable. Round 1 FAQ control added September 16, 2026: the minimum total request is $500,000 for the full 24-month eligible program period; the current policy states no fixed administrative/indirect-cost percentage cap, but all charged costs must be directly related, allowable, allocable, reasonable and necessary under 2 CFR 200; QUEST or other government reimbursement for the same medical or behavioral-health service creates a duplication-of-benefits issue and the same costs cannot also be charged to this grant; presumed-LMI activities must exclusively serve HUD-designated presumed-benefit populations; all participants in partially or fully CDBG-DR-funded programs must satisfy the program's U.S. citizenship-status requirements, with work authorization applying only to employment-related services; and contractors/vendors receiving grant-funded payments must be selected under applicable procurement requirements.
