About Our Maui.

We work across four issues. Our Homes, the housing market and who can afford one. Our Costs, the cost of living on the most expensive islands in the country. Our Health, getting medical care on an island. And Our Dangers, the fires, floods, roads, and coastline. Alongside them, The Response tracks how Maui's leaders have actually answered.

Every claim on this site links to its source. We rely on primary documents and credible local outlets. We do not invent statistics or use anonymized data. If we cannot source it, we do not publish it.

We are for residents first. The teacher in Wailuku trying to understand whether Bill 9 will affect her landlord. The Lahaina family still in a hotel asking what their settlement actually means. The Hāna kupuna whose nearest hospital is a 90-minute drive on a road that closes when it rains.

We are also for anyone outside Maui who wants to understand what is actually happening here. Coverage of our island from the mainland often misses the structural picture. We try to put it in front of you, clearly.

We do not endorse or oppose candidates for public office. We are not a news outlet, though we cite news outlets constantly. We are not neutral about the facts. We are clear about them.

Keep Maui Nui Home is organized under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, as a social welfare organization. We engage in education, lobbying, and issue advocacy as our exempt purpose. Donations to 501(c)(4) organizations are not tax deductible for the donor.

Paid advocacy spots produced by our organization carry the disclosure "Paid for by Keep Maui Nui Home." The educational content on this site is not paid advocacy.

For more on our governance and finances, see our Disclosures page.

This site is about, and for, the people of Maui. The numbers only matter because of the lives behind them.

If you've lived one of these issues, the rent that doubled, the clinic two islands away, the family that finally left, we want to hear it, and to help others hear it too.
