Overview

The Central City Rebuilding Program focuses on restoring the entire Central City area in Louisiana that was devastated by natural disaster and blight.  Our goal is to restore 60 homes within the year reviving the entire community.  We help homeowners return to their homes by gutting, fixing the roofs and siding, foundation work, and mold remediation. Also, all aspects of interior/exterior repair that is needed to make their homes healthier and safer.  

We will be working with thousands of volunteers both locally and nationally in order to achieve our goal.  Many volunteers help out during spring break and winter break, we plan on taking advantage of these times by working on multiple homes these weeks and organizing the hardest work to be completed while we will have the majority of our help.
