CREW helps reduce the number of families living in FEMA trailers in Hendry and Glades Counites.




CREW has been helping Hendry and Glades Counties reduce the number of FEMA trailers the residents are living in. We have helped get the number from over 200 to 126. We made referral for these families to other agencies that could help them, and we located donors who would help fund either their work they needed done, or materials for the volunteers we have recruited. We have been organizing the Long Term Recovery Meetings for these counties and working with local agencies that are ready to jump in and help (if they have the resources and if the families can qualify for the services). We have been working with Volunteer Florida Foundation who is funding the case management for this project!
