Format
Release Number: NR 486
GUAYNABO, Puerto Rico – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved nearly $550,000 for nonprofits that offer services for women who are victims of domestic violence. These allocations include $400,000 for three permanent repair projects and other allocations for emergency work following Hurricane María.
According to the Puerto Rico Police Bureau Statistics Office, 6,170 incidents of domestic violence were reported on the island in 2020. Recovery encompasses a myriad of sectors that positively affect the safety and well-being of our communities. Certainly, these allocations help these entities to continue their work for the benefit of our country , said Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands José Baquero Tirado.
