Providing quality healthcare services to Native Hawaiians has always been critical. Cancer, diabetes, and heart disease continue to plague the Native Hawaiians at a greater rate than all other ethnic groups. Early health prevention and promotion greatly improve the chances of providing proper treatment to increase their longevity. Over the years I have secured over $115 million for Native Hawaiian healthcare. These funds have been used to provide preventative care, traditional healing practices, and general health services.

The Native Hawaiian Housing Block Grant program and Native Hawaiian Loan Guarantee Fund program were established to provide support to the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands for home construction and renovations, as well as to provide assistance to more families on the path to homeownership. Over the past 10 years, $82.3 million has been appropriated for these programs combined. With these funds, new communities have been established, more families have gotten homes, and the Department continues its mission to provide homes to more on the waiting list.
