Current Financial Assistance and Financing Information
The Hawaiʻi Department of Health lists a 2026 Cesspool Conversion Revolving Loan Program, but the program is still under development. The Department says it is expected to be administered by the Hawaiʻi Green Infrastructure Authority. The official pages cited for this article do not list an open application period, final eligibility rules, loan terms, or available funding.
What is the current program status?
The revolving loan program is a current state funding effort that remains under development. Homeowners should wait for official instructions before relying on it in a project budget.
Details may change while the program is being developed. Eligibility, approval, interest rates, forgiveness terms, application timing, and available funds remain unknown until an official program announcement provides them.
Where should you check for updates?
- Hawaiʻi Department of Health Financial Support Programs for Cesspool Conversion for the state's current program description.
- Hawaiʻi Green Infrastructure Authority for future administration or application information.
Check the official pages before making a financial commitment. An old article, form, or social media post may describe a program that has closed or changed.
What information is useful to gather?
Keep the property address, tax map key (TMK), ownership records, and any existing wastewater records together. A later application may ask for property, household, design, or cost information, but the final requirements have not been announced in the approved source material for this article.
A technical evaluation of the property can help define the likely project scope. It cannot establish eligibility for a funding program whose rules are still under development.
What should you ask before accepting assistance?
- Is the program accepting applications?
- Who qualifies, and what documents are required?
- Which project costs are eligible?
- Can work begin before approval?
- Is the assistance a loan, reimbursement, grant, tax benefit, or another form of support?
- What repayment, lien, occupancy, or timing conditions apply?
How can Hawaiʻi Cesspool Help assist?
