CNHA opened an office at the Center on June 22 to provide assistance to families facing emergency situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The member-based 501(c)3 non-profit organization has helped thousands of Hawaii residents during this crisis.

“We are very proud of the work CNHA does to support the Native Hawaiian community through cultural connection, sourcing or obtaining much-needed resources, and providing continuing education and support,” said Stephanie England, general manager at Ka Makana Ali‘i. “Their work has been profoundly helpful during our current season. We are honored to partner with this admirable organization to assist our community.”

CNHA’s mission is to enhance the cultural, economic, political, and community development of Native Hawaiians. It is a national network of Native Hawaiian organizations and a strong voice on public policy. CNHA operates a loan fund, delivers capacity building services, fosters leadership development and has convened the Annual Native Hawaiian Convention for 18 consecutive years.
