AIA National is coordinating with local components, agencies, and other building industry organizations in response to Hurricane Harvey’s impact on Texas and the gulf states.
For SAP trained members: At this time, Texas is not mobilized to accept assistance from out-of-state architects. Please refer back to this page for updates. For questions: resilience@aia.org.
One of the best ways to support those affected by Harvey is to donate to a trusted organization who can deliver the needed resources to the region, such as:
The American Red Cross is responding to immediate needs
Habitat for Humanity is assessing shelter and housing needs caused by the storm
Coalition for the Homeless is coordinating shelters and housing for the homeless
Global Giving has created a fund to support the recovery of local non-profits
The AIA website is being updated daily as events unfold. For more information, visit Hurricane Harvey Updates.
