In response to the catastrophic devastation brought about by Hurricane Harvey, Houston Legal Aid Center is taking donations to partner with local shelters and ministries to assist in the relief efforts. When families are displaced by a natural disaster, the immediate needs for rescue, food, and shelter are obvious. Many donors and volunteers are eager to help, but they hit a wall when it comes to addressing more complex issues such as applying for FEMA relief or disaster unemployment assistance, dealing with insurance companies, seeking forbearance from mortgage, auto, and other billers, finding housing, replacing vital documents, and so much more.Houston Legal Aid Center is stepping in where most relief efforts end in order to walk with families through the long process of getting back to a normal life.
