The Office of Hawaiian Affairs has awarded Catholic Charities of Hawai'i a $100,000 grant for its Ma'ili Land Transitional Housing program.

The money will help homeless families of Hawaiian ancestry make the transition to permanent housing. Families also will receive case management services, education and job and income development services.

OHA also gave $46,250 to Hawai'i Maoli, an entity of the Association of Hawaiian Civic Clubs.

The money will support the Ke Alaula O K Hulilau Project, which documents the oral histories of elders for preservation and future use.
