Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center stresses importance of city’s rent relief program

After just four hours, the city's new rent relief was suspended because so many people applied. The city is using $114 million in federal money to fund the program, which can pay for back and future rent and utilities. Gavin Thornton, executive director of Hawaiʻi Appleseed Center for Law & Economic Justice, spoke about this on Sunrise.
