In this video, Jim Herrington shares his experience in recent weeks and months of working with a network of people and organizations in Houston and beyond to create a coordinated effort to address Harvey recovery. They have tackled how to get resources from affluent parts of the city to under-resourced areas and how to sustain this recovery effort long after compassion fatigue sets in and most of the recovery work in the city ceases.
Together these groups and individuals from all walks of life have collaborated, shared resources, and worked on finding the best solutions to the problems communities in Houston face, such that the recovery effort will be more effective and sustained for a longer period of time and the most under-resourced communities of the city will have access to resources that will complete the recovery in their communities.
