Hawaiian Community Assets (HCA) is more than a nonprofit organization — we are a movement rooted in the resilience, culture, and collective strength of Hawai‘i’s people. For 25 years, we have stood alongside our communities, offering guidance, resources, and programs that empower underserved families and individuals across the islands to build and sustain wealth that can be shared for generations.

With offices in Līhuʻe, Kaua‘i; Hilo, Hawai‘i Island; Honolulu, O‘ahu; and Wailuku, Maui, our team of 35+ is dedicated to creating pathways to financial stability and economic self-sufficiency, with a special focus on Native Hawaiians. What makes us unique is the lived experience of our staff. They bring their expertise — shaped by life and professional training — to create a supportive, culturally grounded environment.
