During the year, 183 individuals were served through cooling centers, warming centers, and emergency shelter operations. Following Hurricane Beryl, Attack Poverty partnered with Fort Bend County and the American Red Cross to operate a multi-week emergency shelter at the Friends of North Rosenberg Resource Center, providing meals, hygiene supplies, showers, and safe lodging for displaced residents.
