National Debt Holdings, an ACA International member company in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, recently contributed to Support Surfside to provide aid to those impacted by the tragedy involving the Surfside condo collapse. National Debt Holdings invites its industry peers and colleagues to consider joining in their advocacy and outreach efforts.
The Surfside condo collapse took place June 24, 2021, when a 12-story residential building, Champlain Towers South, with 136 units partially collapsed. As the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Florida Department of Emergency Management and American Red Cross continue to work to provide resources for housing and relocation assistance, Support Surfside is focused on providing immediate cash support to families and victims affected by the collapse. Volunteers working on behalf of the fund are meeting with families and victims onsite at the Family Assistance Center (FAC) to assess needs.
“The local communities are truly showing their support. The events have been heartbreaking to watch unfold, and the continued effects and devastation for victims, families, friends and the community will resound for a long time,” said Jeremy Poehler, CEO at National Debt Holdings. “I know this has all been incredibly traumatic for people in the Surfside and nearby areas. We want to do our part to support those affected and are just thankful for the ability to do so. Our thoughts are with the families.”
Support Surfside is a nonprofit fund organized in partnership with the Coral Gables Community Foundation and the Key Biscayne Community Foundation.
