Earlier this year, the Center for American Progress created the Puerto Rico Relief and Economic Policy Initiative.¹ The program was created to focus on immediate-term hurricane response efforts for Puerto Rico, with an eye toward long-term planning, economic recovery, and solvency. CAP’s commitment to Puerto Rico is permanent and institutional. In order to inform and expand our work, a delegation of 14 CAP staff visited Puerto Rico in late May to gain a firsthand understanding of the issues and challenges facing the island and its residents.

It was an intensive learning and emotional experience for every member of our delegation. We returned with invaluable new insights and a renewed sense of urgency and purpose to serve as a resource and ally to the people of Puerto Rico.
