We are at the two year mark! In both Houston and Coastal Bend, our teams are still working with communities affected by Hurricane Harvey to reach homeowners still needing home repairs. In the past month, we have welcomed nine families back into their homes, contributing to a total of 98 homes rebuilt in Texas. We are excited to highlight our intake and case management partnerships in Houston with Harvey Home Connect, ICNA Relief Endeavors, HOPE Disaster Recovery, and The Alliance. By working together, we are ensuring that our efforts are targeting areas with the highest levels of unmet need across Northeast Houston. Even this far out from the storm, the scale of damage across these communities is still immense. We are actively seeking volunteers to keep coming to Texas, reminding these communities they are not forgotten. Reach out today to learn how you can join us!
Volunteer Voices “During my time here I met individuals who saw humanitarianism the same way I did, and for those who did not, I learned new perspectives. The diversity throughout the program makes for making new friends a fun experience every time.” “I honestly am not skilled at construction and it can be daunting to work in an area that isn’t a strong point. Even so, I felt like what I was doing mattered.” “Get the word out to more people. This is a fantastic program. I wish more people knew about it and participated -- I will certainly be spreading the word.”
