- OVERVIEW
The purpose of this New York City Haiti Earthquake Assistance Guide is to provide information
about relief services available to those impacted by the January 2010 Haiti earthquake. It is
arranged in sections based the types of services provided by different non-profit organizations
and governmental agencies. Each listing includes basic information on the available services,
how the agency providing the service can be contacted, and eligibility requirements when
applicable. Although these agencies offer numerous ongoing services, some of their programs
are offered only during emergencies, and they depend on resources with limited availability.
The inclusion of an organization in this guide does not guarantee access to its services nor is it an
endorsement of the organization. Most services are free, but resources designated with ($) are
not free; the client may have to pay for the item or service. Updates for this guide are ongoing,
and additional information on assistance, services, and programs will be provided with each
edition.
An updated version of this guide is scheduled for April. ACKNOWLEDGMENT
NYC VOAD would like to express its appreciation to Mary Opler, whose tireless efforts made
this guide possible - Service
