We need funding and supplies !

Damaged/Destroyed homes in Hancock County = 12,000

We rebuild and build modest houses for families whose homes and lives have been decimated by Katrina. Our standard dwelling is 576 square feet, and we can build it on the owner's lot for less than $15,000.

Funding for rebuilding is still urgently needed. The overhead costs at the office are electricity, telephone, office supplies, gasoline, and replacement tools. We can not finish this job without your assistance. We have a registered 501 (c ) 3 to accept those funds. Please contact us for details, or click the "Donate Now" button below. Yes, your contribution is tax deductible, and you can designate, specifically, how you want your contribution to be spent.

Recycling Left Over Construction Supplies

There are approximately 12,000 damaged homes in Hancock County - if after the construction was complete on 30% of those homes they found they had a left over 2x4 and they donated that piece of lumber to a volunteer construction camp - we would have 3,600 2x4's to build approximately fourteen more homes.

If you have any left over building supplies - sheetrock, lumber, shingles, plumbing and electrical supplies, paint, paint brushes, rollers, nails, screws - we desperately need those and any other construction items to help others build their homes. Call us at: (228) 466-4630
