Hawaii First Federal Credit Union is a low-income designated credit union serving low-income residents on the island of Hawaii since 1956. It currently has a main office and one branch and is planning to open a third branch in Hilo, Hawaii. Hawaii First offers savings and loan products that meet the needs of the Low-Income Targeted Population across the state including a payday loan product and a home construction loan in partnership with the state Department of Housing. The Awardee will use the 2007 Technical Assistance grant to: 1) hire a new Community Development Coordinator to develop and implement an IDA program and coordinate other financial education programs; 2) purchase financial literacy kits to be used in the youth financial literacy education program; and 3) send two staff to the IDA Learning Conference to be held in Honolulu.
