Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

Expenses: $495,734

WSR's Home repair program continues to meet and assist homeowners who have not yet fully recovered, despite the fact that most agencies in the city have closed Harvey repair programs. Distinguishing the impact of Harvey from disasters that preceded it (such as Ike and Alison) and that followed it (such as Imelda and Uri) is increasingly difficult and unnecessary. All people deserve safe, sanitary, and dignified housing.

Program 2

Expenses: $248,230

WSR continues to build collective knowledge about flooding, pollution, and infrastructure. Community members' ability to advocate on these issues has greatly increased through public speaking...

WSR continues to build collective knowledge about flooding, pollution, and infrastructure. Community members' ability to advocate on these issues has greatly increased through public speaking, meeting with officials, strategizing campaigns, and facilitating community conversations.

Program 3

Expenses: $152,960

WSR has equipped hub houses with alternative power (formerly generators, now rooftop solar + battery systems), heating and cooling, food and water, medical supplies, search and rescue equipment, and home repair tools. Hubs also strengthen social infrastructure. Neighbors know and care for each other through hosting trainings and block events.
