Endeavors is a nonprofit organization committed to supporting individuals and communities impacted by disasters. With a legacy of over 55 years of service, we focus on helping survivors access vital resources, funding, and services. Our current efforts are centered on assisting those affected by Hurricane Idalia through comprehensive recovery initiatives.

We facilitate housing assistance, helping survivors secure both temporary and permanent housing solutions. Additionally, we ensure that home repairs are carried out by reliable contractors, with oversight from our Construction Cost Analyst (CCA) to ensure accuracy and quality. Mental health support is also a key aspect of our work, administrating resources for those coping with the emotional toll of the disaster. For individuals facing job loss due to the hurricane, we work with career services to guide them toward new opportunities. Our broad range of social services also connects survivors with essential benefits and community resources.

Endeavors works closely with leading organizations such as FEMA, legal aid services, the United Way, Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. These partnerships allow us to bring together expertise and resources to provide coordinated care to those in need. While we don’t perform construction work ourselves, we ensure that survivors are connected to governmental and non-profit grants, trusted contractors, with our CCA verifying the scope of all projects to prevent fraud and guarantee high standards of work.

Our goal is to be a steadfast partner for Hurricane Idalia survivors, guiding them through the recovery process and connecting them with the services they need to rebuild their homes and lives.
