There is no place like Maui County, but living here comes with significant challenges— ones that could put life in our islands out of reach. The high cost of living, lack of affordable housing, not to mention how reliant we are on tourism as the primary economic driver, make it really hard on people just trying to make ends meet to maintain a decent quality of life. Learning about issues that directly impact you allows for a deeper understanding of their root causes and potential solutions, empowering you to advocate for positive change within your community.
