Even before the monster storm made landfall, a group of community advocates and organizations based in Brooklyn began preparations. In the vanguard for these relief efforts, Sonia Velasquez joined a team to Puerto Rico in that first week the airport reopened. Seeing the abject devastation of her birthplace, Ms. Velasquez knew that the displaced might not ever be able to return. She and her team created Your Network Caring Community Advocate (YNCCA) to respond to the needs of those arriving from Puerto Rico to the mainland.

Hundreds, if not thousands of Puerto Ricans, their families on the mainland, and other organizations contacted her and her team, seeking aid for housing services, medical assistance, counseling services, and job search & placement assistance.

YNCCA identified and assisted nearly 230 families displaced by Hurricane Maria in securing FEMA Transitional Sheltering Assistance. In July 2018, the organization successfully placed and relocated an elderly couple, once shuffled near-monthly from shelters to hotels, into their new apartment home in Albany, NY. For YNCCA and Sonia Velasquez, this was the first of many needed permanent resettlements.
