Hurricane Maria has already destroyed much of Puerto Rico and ravaged other Caribbean islands. Grassroots organizations are already working to help the most vulnerable communities recover through the Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund.
Low-income communities of color often face the worst destruction and slowest recovery and have fewer resources to safeguard homes, vehicles, and other property. When the winds die down and the floods recede, these communities are often forgotten by reconstruction efforts, and underserved by insurance companies.
The Hurricane Maria Community Relief & Recovery Fund will be housed at the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD). One hundred percent of monies raised will be used to support immediate relief, recovery, and equitable rebuilding in Puerto Rico for the communities hit hardest by the storm. The Fund is governed by organizations like Puerto Rico-based Taller Salud and other local, grassroots organizations. The Fund will support organizations working with these hardest hit communities in Puerto Rico.
