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.
