Project Porchlight

At Project Porchlight, we believe that no one should face disaster recovery alone. Nearly 3 in 4 survivors experience a financial burden after experiencing a natural disaster. We help make post-disaster financial recovery faster and more affordable through personalized coaching that combines:

  • Recovery assessment and plan development
  • Aid application and appeal assistance
  • Coordination with creditors and lenders
  • Monthly check-ins and online resources

The chaos and disruption experienced during and after a disaster is significant. In addition to securing safety and basic needs, survivors face a steep learning curve to understand their rights, responsibilities, and options for recovery. They may no longer be able to rely on their usual routines, organizational tools, and support network to help them navigate these challenges.

Project Porchlight provides survivors with the tools, education, and support needed to take control of their recovery. Our nationwide network of trained counselors and educators help survivors develop and execute a personalized recovery plan, bringing impacted families back to their pre-disaster normal as quickly as possible.
