In February 2017, the Coyote Creek flood struck San Jose, submerging hundreds of homes, displacing over 14,000 residents, and causing millions of dollars in damage. FHF was one of the first community-based organizations to respond to the flood with relief efforts.
Working alongside the Consortium Asian Americans Recovery Resilience (CARR), FHF provided food, emergency shelter, and recovery services to affected families, and continued outreach to affected communities for years after the disaster.
In February 2017, the Coyote Creek flood submerged hundreds of San Jose homes, displaced over 14,000 residents, and caused millions of dollars in damage. Friends of Hue, in partnership with the Consortium of Asian Americans Recovery Resilience, was among the first organizations to respond — providing food, emergency shelter, and direct assistance to affected families.
FHF also helped flood victims and their families pursue accountability from government entities responsible for flood warnings and community protection. The organization served as an advocate and resource navigator, ensuring that Vietnamese and other ethnic minority residents had access to recovery services.
Even years after the disaster, FHF continued to engage with affected communities — listening, learning, and working to improve disaster preparedness for future events.
While this program has concluded, your donation helps FHF continue serving our community through other vital programs.
