About this organization
Mission
United Way of Greater Houston engages caring people to improve lives and build a stronger community.
About
Disaster Recovery United Way provides support to our first responders on a year-round basis, raise and invest funds for immediate aftermath as well as long-term recovery after a disaster. United Way also supports community-based efforts in disaster recovery through small grants, and considers the changing needs of the community as the recovery phase continues. In late August 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall on the Texas Gulf Coast and impacted the lives of many southeast Texas residents. Helping individuals and families recover from the devastation of Hurricane Harvey is a key focus of United Way. Thanks to generous donors, United Way raised an additional $1.3 million as of March 31, 2019. These funds were restricted by donors for use in Hurricane Harvey recovery efforts. Given United Ways experience with previous disasters, the expectation is for these funds to be expended over the next two to three years. The categories of expenditures are provision of basic needs of food and shelter, case management to guide individuals through recovery, funding for minor home repair and assistance with behavioral health and unmet needs. These funds are not used for United Way internal staffing, infrastructure, technology operations or any other internal purpose. These funds are not considered campaign revenue and are not commingled with any other revenue or any other internal or external fund.
