More than $177.76 million in federal assistance has been approved for 6,210 Maui households affected by the Aug. 8 wildfire in Lahaina and Upcountry, as of Friday.

The assistance approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency includes nearly $30 million for individuals and households, with $14.4 million in housing assistance and $15.6 million for “other needs,” according to a news release.

Additionally, the U.S. Small Business Administration approved $147.8 million in disaster loans, including $43.8 million for businesses and $104 million in home loans to help residents rebuild and recover from the disaster.

Nov. 9 is the deadline to apply for FEMA assistance and SBA disaster loans for physical property damage. Today is the last day for small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives and most private nonprofit organizations to apply for SBA economic injury disaster loans.

Government agencies, public institutions and certain private nonprofit organizations such as houses of worship have until Oct. 25 to submit requests for funding.

Meanwhile, the American Red Cross is continuing to assist wildfire survivors, helping 7,200 people — about 78% of the pre-disaster population of Lahaina — who are staying in more than two dozen hotels, the release said. The organization also is providing meals, health and mental health care, help with navigating paperwork, funeral expenses, financial support to transition out of hotels and other services to those affected by the disaster, including people who are not eligible for some FEMA programs.

Wildfire survivors can schedule an appointment with the Red Cross at RedCross.org/HIhelp or speak to a representative at any of the three Disaster Recovery Centers in Kahului, Lahaina and Pukalani.

FEMA also released a list of federal resources for wildfire survivors:

>> Rental properties wanted. FEMA has approved two direct housing programs for Maui wildfire survivors and will work with property management companies that act on behalf of the government and contract with property owners of rental units. The units are offered to survivors for up to 18 months. Maui County, the state of Hawaii, FEMA and the private sector are seeking owners of rental units suitable for families and individuals for both programs. For more information, see fema.gov/factsheet/rental-properties-wanted-temporary-disaster-housing.

>> Assistance for nonprofits. Private nonprofits, including houses of worship and other faith-based organizations, may be eligible to apply for federal disaster assistance. Funding from the Public Assistance program can be used to pay for debris removal, emergency protective measures and restoration of disaster- damaged facilities.
