The Maui Disaster Recovery National Dislocated Workers Grant, which offers employment for workers and self-employed individuals who lost their jobs due to the August wildfires and emergency declarations, will be holding four informational sessions this week for nonprofits and other organizations interested in becoming a Host Site.
