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 complex. All people deserve safe, sanitary, and dignified housing. 323352 The Voter Engagement Program works to notify community members when elections are taking place, to determine if they have plans to vote or need help getting to the polls, to support neighbors in understanding the positions and ballot measures on the ballot, and to spread awareness about how the election process works. Community members are organized and paid to participate in a voter engagement call banking program. 252622 222273 WSR specializes in providing disaster relief resources to at-risk communities. In the event of a disaster, it is of the utmost importance for communities to receive help immediately. This program enables us to serve community members in the days following disasters, before traditional funding and grants become available. 218859 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. 210591 71616 WSR distributes direct assistance to families in our service area who need help with purchasing groceries, keeping utilities on, paying for funeral costs, supporting medication purchases, and promoting accessibility for individuals with disabilities. WSR has a per-household cap of $300 per year and distributes funds on a first-come, first-served basis. 170937 WSR has equipped local houses as "hub houses" with alternative power sources (formerly generators, now rooftop solar and battery systems), heating and cooling systems, food and water supplies, 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. 55813 WSR's research formalizes community knowledge to impact policy and empower community members to document risk, unequal investment, and injustice in their communities. 656200 71616 2093283 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 58 0 1 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 6 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 X Cavanaugh Nweze 8323566073 2012 Emancipation Ave Houston TX 77003 Doris Brown Co-Director 30.00 X X 18783 0 0 Ben Hirsch Co-Director 40.00 X X 76604 0 0 Cavanaugh Nweze Co-Director 25.00 X X 51464 0 0 Connie Boulware Board Member 10.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Broadway Board Member 4.00 X 3911 0 0 Billy Guevara Board Member 4.00 X 0 0 0 Zoe Middleton Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 Melanie Ping Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Genesis Sanchez Board Member 2.00 X 0 0 0 150762 0 0 0 0 0 0 Todos Los Diaz 3305 Gillespie St Houston TX 77020 Home repair 192929 Star Remodeling 1035 Marcolin St Houston TX 77088 Home repair 163155 2 16666 2694991 2711657 2711657 0 0 0 293889 293889 150762 74062 68304 8396 465547 342255 82273 41019 33693 24832 5913 2948 44199 32575 7757 3867 2000 2000 39000 39000 139122 113272 6102 19748 21219 1922 19120 177 27761 21554 6207 22476 15531 5580 1365 38786 20680 18039 67 14089 10506 3562 21 1950 1437 342 171 7995 7995 Repair contractors 796833 796833 Community contractors 301170 301170 Supplies and materials 47283 42765 4357 161 2447774 2093283 237551 116940 302194 602591 770544 734206 39000 1950 0 37050 1072738 1373847 33795 71021 33795 71021 X 117466 180925 921477 1121901 1038943 1302826 1072738 1373847 263883 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 695043 1038356 1572615 1451100 2711657 7468771 695043 1038356 1572615 1451100 2711657 7468771 963603 6505168 15 15 7468786 16165 0.87100 0.69550 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 39000 1950 37050 37050 2724657 13000 13000 2711657 0 2711657 2460774 13000 13000 2447774 0 2447774 X X X X 1 Build Power Strategies LLC 3501 Girard Ave S Minneapolis MN 55408 Fundraising consultation 0 64465 39000 25465 64465 39000 25465 TX 1 Direct assistance - rent, utilities, food 539 222073 Flood insurance 39 36318 Repair supplies and materials 104 30828 Temporary housing 15 4670 Part I, Line 2: Families facing utility disconnection, inability to buy groceries, or medical emergencies are eligible for direct assistance.
