TAMPA, Fla. — The influx of Puerto Ricans moving to the mainland in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria has slowed down.

But some newcomers are still trickling into Florida. 

And as long as they keep coming in, one local organization is making them feel welcome. 

'Boricuas De Corazon' is helping Enid Suarez Rosa start a new chapter. 

Rosa was still dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, Rosa left Puerto Rico this past winter and moved to New York. 

She didn’t find the help that she needed in New York. She’s disabled and to be alone in New York, the high cost of living made things difficult.  

"(Very hard). That’s what discouraged me," Suarez said of her situation since the hurricane. "I’d take five steps forward and then I’d fall 20 steps back."

So she decided to come to Tampa, where Boricuas De Corazon greeted her with open arms. 

"We have all the resources in our community," said Linda Perez Davila, the founder of Boricuas de Corazon. "With the organization...We're here for them and that’s why we are continuing welcoming people." 

Davila said it is easier to help hurricane victims now that the influx has died down. 

"We established good communication with a lot of different places in Tampa, Davila said. "And also in the private sector that when one or two families can come over, Catholic Charities and other institutions are helping them right away."

But that's not to say that the help is not needed any longer. 

Boricuas De Corazon  joined other Puerto Rican groups at the capitol in Tallahassee last week to continue to advocate for hurricane survivors. 

"That trip to Tallahassee was an awareness for all the senators and representatives," Davila said. "They don’t know about these people that are displaced with no housing."
