CORE responded quickly to provide critical support to low-income and high-risk communities devastated by the flooding in Kentucky.  

Our team mobilized to the impact zone to support the most vulnerable communities in Letcher County. We coordinated with local partners to provide debris removal and hygiene kits, Wi-Fi and laptop stations, and identify survivors’ additional critical needs. 

In support of long-term recovery efforts, CORE hired and trained a local team of disaster case managers, supporting community livelihoods and infusing over $800,000 in salaries into the local economy. They have worked across four counties to help families apply for state and federal support programs. Our teams supported over 1,000 cases—more than any other organization in the area—and provided people with access to FEMA awards, building materials, furniture, home goods, and even securing new homes.
