Legal Aid Grant

Native Hawaiians, already disproportionately represented among the disabled and disadvantaged, could be worse off as welfare reforms go into effect. In the expectation that cuts in public assistance could hurt more th'an 27,000 Hawaiian families, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is donating $100,000 to the Legal Aid Society of Hawai'i, whose attomeys help disabled and elderly Hawaiians with their applications for federal funds.
