The Problem

In 2005, the Gulf Coast was hit by Hurricane Katrina and become the largest national disaster our country had ever seen. The size of the disaster is as large as the state of Minnesota. Many people lost loved ones, lost their homes, and were torn away from their communities.

Plan of Action

First, our case managers help to assess each family's need, and locate resources to help get them home. They then prioritize the homes on our list, putting those families who need help the most at the top of the list. Then, our volunteers go to various homes and put up drywall, paint, tile, and whatever else needs to be done to get the family back to a livable home. To date we have helped get over 600 families back home, with the help of thousands of volunteers.
