The House passed $19.1 billion in aid Monday for states hit by natural disasters in recent months.

Why it matters: The funding is long-awaited by communities recovering from flooding, hurricanes and other natural disasters. The package was cleared by the Senate last month, but was blocked three times by individual House Republicans who . It will now go to the desk of President Trump, who is expected to sign it.

Details: The bill provides about $900 million for Puerto Rico — $605 million in nutritional assistance and $304 million in Community Development Block Grants. This was previously a major sticking point for the president, who believes the island should not receive any more government aid.
