Federal Budget Impact on Hawaiʻi & Native Hawaiians: FY2026 vs FY2027 Proposed (v9)

Note: Some of these cuts will be partially offset by new federal block grants, but probably not by much. Hawaiʻi receives about 0.43% of every federal dollar distributed by population, block grants historically deliver less money than the programs they replace, and some of the new grants have eligibility rules that may lock out Native Hawaiian organizations entirely. I will update the sheet when the numbers are verifiable. Block grants are not expected to materially change the overall picture.
