HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Hawaiian Electric customers facing financial hardship can apply to the Hawaii Relief Program for assistance with utility bills.

Hawaii Gov. Josh Green announced the program last month shortly before federal assistance was set to run out due to the ongoing shutdown of the federal government.

The program is designed to provide relief for Hawaii residents facing economic uncertainty.

Customers on Oahu and Hawaii Island can learn more and apply for aid by calling Catholic Charities Hawaii at (808) 521-4357, press 1 for financial assistance, and then press 1 again for the Hawaii Relief Program Team, or email hrp.mail@catholiccharitieshawaii.org .

For HECO customers on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, contact Maui Economic Opportunity, Inc. by phone at (808) 243-4
