Trump Budget makes massive cuts to Hawaiian Homelands and gives $0 to Native Hawaiian Education
Our take
The proposed FY 2027 federal budget under the Trump administration outlines significant financial cuts that threaten the well-being of Native Hawaiian communities. With a staggering $1.5 trillion allocated to military spending, the budget proposes the elimination of the Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant, resulting in a complete loss of dedicated federal housing funding. Additionally, substantial reductions to HUD and community programs will diminish support for housing, homelessness, and community development initiatives. Education grants aimed at Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions are also on the chopping block, jeopardizing essential resources for colleges that serve Native Hawaiian students.

Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant: Proposed elimination means complete loss of dedicated federal housing funding.
HUD & Community Programs cuts to non-defense discretionary programs so less support for housing, homelessness, and community development.
Education Grants cut. Funding for Alaska Native & Native Hawaiian‑serving institutions proposed for elimination meaning much fewer resources for colleges serving Native Hawaiian students.
Federal Policy Shifts due to DEI fears mean Race-based program reviews may further reduce Native Hawaiian‑specific funding in all areas.
