Hurricane Ida

Since Hurricane Ida hit on August 29th 2021 and left more than 15,000 families across Louisiana in need of assistance, we have been working to ensure our neighbors have safe and healthy homes to return to.

Our objective as an organization has been to provide immediate relief and long term recovery and repairs to impacted families across the area. And we could use some help! Together we can repair homes, revitalize communities, and rebuild lives.

Here’s how you can help today:

• Donate here to our Disaster Response and Recovery Program. Gifts can get relief into the hands of residents immediately and support our long-term recovery.
• Give your time. Volunteers are critical in disasters, and can magnify our impact and save homeowners critical, limited resources. Multiple opportunities are available to match your interests like virtual case management, supply distribution, an construction and repair. Sign up to volunteer here!
