Old San Juan, a sector that is home to at least 800 businesses and 500 commercial offices, has been in the dark for the better part of the last six weeks, which have kept many from reopening since Hurricane María made landfall on Sept. 20.
Puerto Rico remains without an effective emergency response more than a month after Hurricane María devastated the island, a group of UN human rights experts has warned.
Boys and Girls Club de Puerto Rico, Fundación de Esclerosis Múltiples de Puerto Rico, Inc., and Humanitarian Assistance Cooperative Housing Foundation will split close to $398,000 from United for Puerto Rico, a private nonprofit organization established after Hurricane Irma to fundraise for devastated island communities.
