The Hinds County Long-Term Disaster Committee, social services, faith-based organizations, housing agencies, and others address the unmet needs of families and individuals of residents of Hinds County, Mississippi, in response to county, state, or federally declared disasters.
The Hinds County LTDRC is not really a program of the MUL, but it is housed under the umbrella of the United Way of the Capital Area, which serves as the fiscal agent for the organization. The Hinds County LTDRC reports to the Hinds County Board of Supervisors. MUL formed and led this LTRC. The Mississippi Urban League provides disaster support across the state, as our budget will allow. This would likely be better for explaining our work in this area:
The Mississippi Urban League, in the wake of disasters, supports community, social services, faith-based organizations, housing agencies, and others to address the unmet needs of families and individuals across Mississippi in response to county, state, or federally declared disasters.
