Storm victims, who are living in already chronically poor neighborhoods at the heart of Florida’s agricultural industry, in the southwestern part of the state, are in desperate need of disaster relief resources but some are reluctant to seek aid or don't qualify for federal disaster assistance.
Florida Rural Legal Services, Inc. (FRLS) and community partners mobilized relief efforts for Hurricane Ian survivors in Wauchula who are struggling.
