Disaster Recovery Projects:
Hurricane Harvey Update:
The flooding of the Brazos River in 2016 directly impacted the communities we serve and love. Attack Poverty saw a need for immediate action assisting residents and developing collaborative partnerships. Attack Poverty Disaster Recovery is empowering residents to lead their own recovery by teaching them to read contractor quotes and manage a personal recovery project, while advocating for residents needing additional funds where a financial gap is found. We are currently serving Fort Bend county, Harris County, and Brazoria County.
Do you have questions or want to Volunteer? Call our office (832-363-1204) or email us (Allyson@attackpoverty.org). We would be happy to talk with you!
