Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund
Since 2017, Hispanic Federation has played a leading role supporting Local communities in Florida, North Carolina and Puerto Rico to respond and recover from natural disasters. Most importantly, HF’s work does not start and end with recovery work. Instead, we are committed to the long-term resiliency and empowerment of the communities we support.
Due to climate change, natural disasters are becoming larger and more frequent. Recently, Hurricane Helene killed hundreds of individuals, devastated whole communities with 140 MPH winds and unprecedented storm surges, and caused catastrophic flooding in several states, especially impacting North Carolina and Florida. Florida is now preparing for Hurricane Milton, which is threatening numerous counties in Florida. With two back to back hurricanes, we must not only work on storm recovery, but also preparedness.

We Are on the Ground Providing Relief Now
Right now, Hispanic Federation and our partner organizations are on the ground providing relief to Latino individuals and families whose lives have been upended by these storms. HF is focused on providing care to the most vulnerable – those who are not seen or heard on the news, and often go unserved: mixed status and undocumented families, guest farmworkers, meat and poultry workers, and Spanish and indigenous language speakers.
Hispanic Federation staff and more than 15 nonprofit partners in North Carolina and Florida are on the ground helping devastated communities in innumerable ways, while also laying the groundwork for Milton relief efforts, and watching for any potential hurricane formations.

• Focus on the most vulnerable families that need culturally and linguistically competent services lacking in ordinary relief efforts
• Coordinate efforts to provide these families with needed emergency disaster relief supplies
• Connect Latino nonprofits with resources and life-saving information for the community
• Provide emergency grant funds for local nonprofits with a history of serving affected communities
• Find and check in with isolated, rural farmworkers to see what support they need
• Provide support to undocumented workers, as they do not qualify for FEMA assistance
