Today in Houston, the Greater Houston Disaster Alliance (GHDA) announced the activation of the Hurricane Beryl Recovery Fund in response to the vast wave of households impacted by the hurricane. This fund is designed to gather financial aid for those victims displaced or harmed in the wake of last week’s storm.
GHDA, an integrated effort of The Greater Houston Community Foundation and United Way of Greater Houston, has embarked on this relief initiative to provide emergency financial assistance, home repairs, and resource accessibility to low-to-moderate income families affected by the storm.
The vital support from the fund will extend to residents of the City of Houston and the counties of Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, and Waller. Help will be directed to those most in need, ensuring that families have prompt access to resources to aid their recovery efforts.
At 3 p.m. today, Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo will join forces with GHDA at a press conference, showcasing their support for the fund. Alongside these political figures, Amanda McMillian, President and CEO of United Way of Greater Houston, and Bob Harvey, Co-Chair of the Disaster Recovery Council and Board Member of the Greater Houston Community Foundation, will also speak about the urgent assistance required by Houstonians.
The community is urged to support their fellow Houstonians by contributing to the fund. Resident registration for assistance is now open. Offering a helping hand during these challenging times is a testament to Houston’s strength, unity, and resilience. When one Houstonian is in need, we all step up – that is the Houston way.
Hurricane Beryl has not only brought brutal winds and water but also significant strains on Houston’s community resilience. Given the severity and regularity of such weather events, there is a growing urgency to galvanize resources and support. By reinvigorating community solidarity, Houston can confront and overcome these obstacles.
