One House at a Time and the Pearlington Recovery Center are still able to house and feed volunteers – groups and individuals – for rebuilding projects in Pearlington as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and now Gustav. Please consider joining us for a week or more or for just a weekend as you are able.
---------------------------------
From the website:
Where We Are
To date, One House at a Time has 11 projects under construction.
Of these, four will be ADA handicapped units, which will allow
some of Pearlington?s disabled residents to return to a fuller
life after being confined in FEMA trailers. An additional three
homes are currently ordered, and they are due to arrive over the
next two weeks. With existing funds, the project will have the
capacity to build approximately 10 more homes. To learn more
about our existing projects, please visit the Current Projects
page.
The project is particularly essential because very few
organizations, whether public or private, are willing to build in
FEMA flood zones. While many have expressed reservation about
rebuilding in a flood zone, it is important to remember that all
of Hancock County is part of this flood zone. The only hurricane
other than Katrina to flood this part of the country with such
force was Camille in 1969. Camille only brought 2 feet of water
into town; Katrina brought 20. Prior to Camille, no comparable
disaster had been recorded for nearly 200 years. Furthermore,
it appears that few, if any, state funds will be allocated for
residents in flood zones in Mississippi. While Louisiana will
serve this segment of the population because of the external
and internal pressure to rebuild New Orleans, which sits 9 feet
below sea level, no such forces exist to serve the people of
Mississippi. Pearlington, which is an average of 6.5 feet above
sea level, will likely get no public funding to rebuild.
One House at a Time is currently seeking $500,000 to insure that
it can continue to build homes in Pearlington for the next year.
While the ultimate goal is to raise $2 Million to build 200 homes,
the first step is raising funds for the next year. The funds will
be used to hire to on the ground coordinators, as well as to insure
that money for some 35 homes will be available for the following year.
==================================================
Disaster Relief Program:
To provide immediate housing for families and individuals
in need, NHC has designed transitional housing units:
bunkhouses, cottages, and lodges to house families and
volunteers. These units cost between $15,000 to $20,000 and
come furnished with kitchen appliances, living room, dining
room, and bedroom furniture. Units are portable and can be
set up on any lot. As a family/individual reaches
sustainability, receives insurance settlements, etc. the
unit can be passed on to another family or the unit can be
converted to permanent housing.
Hurricane Katrina Relief
Hurricane Katrina Relief Efforts in Hancock County, Mississippi
New Hope Construction (NHC) has teamed up with the South
Walton Hurricane Helpers and the Seaside Community Foundation.
Hancock County is ground zero of Hurricane Katrina.
New Hope Construction's first efforts at disaster relief have
been focused in Hancock County, Mississippi. Bunk Houses have
been erected for volunteers assisting with the construction of
transitional housing units for disaster victims. These Bunk
Houses are designed for housing multiple volunteers at a time.
Our Transitional Housing Units also include Cottages which are
designed to be inhabited by families or individuals until
sustainability can be achieved. At which point the cottages may
then be passed on to another family or converted into permanent
housing.
To ensure immediate housing for families and individuals in
need, NHC's transitional housing units: bunkhouses, cottages,
and lodges are now available for housing families and volunteers.
The units cost between $15,000 to $20,000 and come furnished
with kitchen appliances, living room, dining room, and bedroom
furniture. Units are portable and can be set up on any lot.
How can you get involved?
Financially: Units start at $15,000 - you can sponsor a unit or
partner with other groups to sponsor a unit or several units.
Please call NHC at 866-396-4673 to donate.
Provide Volunteers: To volunteer please call Shannon Erwin at
(850) 835-0067.
Spread the Word: Tell a friend. . .let others know how to get
immediate help to hurricane victims.
With funds already donated, we have already shipped truckloads
of these units. On November 14, 2005, with our partners and
volunteers, we began building these units in Hancock County,
Mississippi.
In Mississippi alone, over 70,000 units are needed
to shelter families/individuals.

rebuilding in a flood zone, it is important to remember that all
of Hancock County is part of this flood zone. The only hurricane
other than Katrina to flood this part of the country with such
force was Camille in 1969. Camille only brought 2 feet of water
into town; Katrina brought 20. Prior to Camille, no comparable
disaster had been recorded for nearly 200 years. Furthermore,
it appears that few, if any, state funds will be allocated for
residents in flood zones in Mississippi. While Louisiana will
serve this segment of the population because of the external
and internal pressure to rebuild New Orleans, which sits 9 feet
below sea level, no such forces exist to serve the people of
Mississippi. Pearlington, which is an average of 6.5 feet above
sea level, will likely get no public funding to rebuild.
One House at a Time is currently seeking $500,000 to insure that
it can continue to build homes in Pearlington for the next year.
While the ultimate goal is to raise $2 Million to build 200 homes,
the first step is raising funds for the next year. The funds will
be used to hire to on the ground coordinators, as well as to insure
that money for some 35 homes will be available for the following year.
==================================================
Disaster Relief Program:
To provide immediate housing for families and individuals
in need, NHC has designed transitional housing units:
bunkhouses, cottages, and lodges to house families and
volunteers. These units cost between $15,000 to $20,000 and
come furnished with kitchen appliances, living room, dining
room, and bedroom furniture. Units are portable and can be
set up on any lot. As a family/individual reaches
sustainability, receives insurance settlements, etc. the
unit can be passed on to another family or the unit can be
converted to permanent housing.

New Hope Construction (NHC) has teamed up with the South
Walton Hurricane Helpers and the Seaside Community Foundation.
Hancock County is ground zero of Hurricane Katrina.
New Hope Construction's first efforts at disaster relief have
been focused in Hancock County, Mississippi. Bunk Houses have
been erected for volunteers assisting with the construction of
transitional housing units for disaster victims. These Bunk
Houses are designed for housing multiple volunteers at a time.
Our Transitional Housing Units also include Cottages which are
designed to be inhabited by families or individuals until
sustainability can be achieved. At which point the cottages may
then be passed on to another family or converted into permanent
housing.
To ensure immediate housing for families and individuals in
need, NHC's transitional housing units: bunkhouses, cottages,
and lodges are now available for housing families and volunteers.
