NEW ORLEANS HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
New Orleans continues to rebuild housing that was destroyed by the devastating flooding of Hurricane Katrina. NOHFH has become a beacon of hope in this rebuilding process by recruiting and deploying tens of thousands of volunteers to construct new homes in damaged, blighted neighborhoods. With the support of our volunteers, donors, and partners across the country and even the world, NOHFH’s home building capacity has increased annually since 2005. New Orleans is a city with historically low rates of home ownership and high levels of poverty, yet it is a place of resiliency, hope, and cultural vibrancy.

With a spirit of renewal, NOHFH rising to the challenges presented by a substandard housing stock and is helping many to realize their dream of home ownership.

Emily's Story
My story begins with the Nicaragua service trip I participated in this last winter.  It was something I had always desired to be a part of however timing was never in my favor.  I was finally able to go and came out with a love of serving others.  The community there taught me so much about how serving people was also about loving people. I had to participate in another.  Sheil offers another student service trip to New Orleans during Spring Break.  Please help me pass on what I have learned in Nicaragua to the people of New Orleans.  Any size donation helps, whether it is $5, $10, $20 or simply a prayer of safe travel and a pair helping hands.  Thank you!
