Harvey Relief Efforts Continue In Montgomery County

THE WOODLANDS, TX — It’s been more than a year since Hurricane Harvey raavaged the Texas coast, destroying homes and businesses in its wake. For many in Houston and the surrounding area, the rebuilding process hasn’t ended and that means people still need help.

Next week, the United Way of Greater Houston’s Montgomery County Center will host a round table discussion with other community organizations to gauge the needs of those still recovering from Hurricane Harvey.

The American Red Cross has helped thousands in the Texas Gulf Coast region, providing $230 million in immediate financial assistance for people working to put their lives back together, according to their website.

But there are still unmet needs for some households in Montgomery County impacted by Hurricane Harvey.

That’s why a multi-pronged effort led by United Way of Greater Houston Montgomery County, is underway to bring more relief to Montgomery County residents who are still recovering and who need funding to rebuild.

Once those case managers gather to discuss those unmet needs, they will decide how to distribute available grant funding.

Officials said long term recovery efforts, which began in the fall, will continue until all the grant funds are exhausted, according to a Houston Chronicle report.
