St Bernard Project

This has nothing to do with Habitat. The St Bernard project is focused on salvaging homes in St Bernard Parish that were not destroyed in the aftermath of Katrina. It's a bit more controversial since it involves restoring an area that is not only downriver but of little economic value to the city. Fixing existing homes is also a lot more problematic and pretty much outside of what Habitat normally does. Still, many of the long term volunteers at Camp Hope have gotten involved with it partly out of good-heartedness but also to try and reach out and help our neighbors in St Bernard. It's not as big as Habitat but in a way it's nicer to work with fewer people and get to the know the homeowner more directly.
