3,000 fire survivors in Lahaina, Hawaii, are still living in hotels over seven months after a devastating fire, but 30 people are moving into longer-term housing daily. The state and federal government have secured long-term rental units for all displaced residents, aiming to have them leave hotels by July 1. Over 7,000 people were displaced after the fire, and many existing homes have been used as vacation rentals, contributing to a housing shortage. The Lahaina wildfire destroyed 3,971 properties and caused damage estimated to be between $4-$6 billion.
