LGBTQ Disaster Relief Fund
Established for Houston – The catastrophic and historic impact of Hurricane Harvey will be felt
by the LGBTQ community of Houston Texas for days, months, and potentially years
to come. Our Fund Foundation has reached out to CenterLink, the international
network of LGBT centers, to learn how South Floridians can help our brothers
and sisters in the Houston region affected by the hurricane. The Montrose Center, Houston's LGBTQ
counseling and community center serving Houston for 39 years, has established a
fund to support LGBTQ individuals and families who have been displaced or
impacted by the hurricane. The LGBTQ Disaster Relief Fund will be used to help
those affected rebuild their lives through counseling, case management, and
direct assistance with food, housing and more. The Center’s dedicated case
management team is on call to help homeless youth, seniors, people living with
HIV, hate crime survivors, and those devastated by the storm. Our Fund
