Puerto Rico will never be the same after Hurricane María
After Hurricane María devastated Puerto Rico, Latino Leadership in partnership with the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce established the Puerto Rico Family Response Center in Orlando as a humanitarian effort to alleviate the pain and suffering of families impacted by the natural disaster. The organization has helped more than 9,100 displaced families by providing immediate emergency relief services.
Latino Leadership has developed this disaster relief initiative as a permanent program, which serves as a one-stop shop for new arrivals as they transition to their new community in Central Florida. Through the Center, the organization offers an array of services, such as:
- Emergency Relief Items
- Food Pantry
- Employment Services
- School Enrollment Assistance
- Health Referrals
- Disaster Relief Paperwork
- Housing Assistance and Rental Information
