Inoanāiwi is a grassroots, community-led movement dedicated to addressing the historical and ongoing challenges faced by Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) due to colonization and unjust land practices. By restoring ʻāina (land) to its original caretakers, we aim to rebuild a pono (right) relationship with the land and empower Kānaka Maoli to thrive in their ancestral homeland. Together, we can foster collective action and pursue justice and reconciliation for a more equitable future. Join us in this vital work to heal and transform our communities.

Building Wealth Through Homeownership
One of the most significant ways wealth is transferred from generation to generation is through homeownership. Inoanāiwi is actively combating the impacts of redlining and housing discrimination by offering down payment grants, financial education, and home maintenance assistance to eligible Native Hawaiians. This approach not only supports individual families but also helps strengthen communities and foster long-term stability.
Home Maintenance AssistanceWe partner with contractors to provide funding for home maintenance assistance, ensuring that homeowners can make necessary improvements that maintain and enhance the value of their properties.
|
Down Payment GrantsWe are committed to assisting Native Hawaiians by providing financial support for down payments, helping them secure homeownership and deepen their connection to their ancestral land.
|
Financial EducationWe’ve collaborated with top financial educators to ensure that homeowners are not only prepared to purchase a home but also equipped to thrive in their new environment.
