The organization has received numerous disaster assistance grants, particularly in response to Hurricanes Fiona and Ian, as well as other natural disasters affecting Puerto Rico.

Activities funded through these grants include repairing damaged facilities, replacing lost equipment and supplies, and continuing regular Head Start programming to promote the cognitive, physical, behavioral, and socio-emotional development of low-income children. F.d.h.p. has also received funding through the American Rescue Plan to address pandemic-related challenges. Additionally, the organization serves as a sub-awardee on public assistance awards from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, partnering with Puerto Rico's Governor's Authorized Representative on disaster recovery projects.
