The days, weeks, months, and even years following will be a time of healing for our nation, but especially for victims and the families of the victims. Proyecto Somos Orlando will address the long-term needs for mental health services that are culturally competent and bilingual. Proyecto will enable care to be delivered to those affected directly in the communities in which they live. Beyond emergency assistance, they will be provided with case management, crisis intervention, and mental health services, among other needs.
Somos Orlando is a local campaign organized by community leaders. The funds will be administered by Hispanic Federation, a trusted national 501(c)(3) organization with 25 years experience. Hispanic Federation received a 4 Star rating from Charity Navigator as of June 1, 2016.
