Grant Overview
Puerto Rico's post-hurricane recovery efforts are hindered by significant barriers, including inadequate housing reconstruction and infrastructure development. The island's housing stock was severely damaged by Hurricane Maria, with over 200,000 units destroyed or severely damaged. Existing infrastructure, including roads and bridges, remains vulnerable to future disasters. Funding will support initiatives that address these barriers, including housing reconstruction and infrastructure development projects. Puerto Rico's unique context, including its history of colonialism and disaster-related trauma, requires a tailored approach to recovery. Unlike neighboring islands, Puerto Rico's larger size and more complex economy necessitate a comprehensive strategy. The island's economy, driven by manufacturing and tourism, is slowly recovering from the impacts of Hurricane Maria. The infrastructure, including the electric grid and transportation systems, remains a critical component of recovery efforts. Demographically, Puerto Rico's population is aging, with a high percentage of residents over 65. ## Overcoming Barriers to Recovery in Puerto Rico ## The grant will prioritize initiatives that address the island's most pressing recovery needs, including housing reconstruction and infrastructure development. ## Rebuilding Puerto Rico's Infrastructure ## By investing in recovery initiatives, the grant will help support the long-term sustainability of Puerto Rico's communities and economy.
