Rebuilding Project:
Mississippi Home Again

Mississippi Home Again was a grass roots organization formed by Tammy Agard and Annie Card that aided Mississippi Gulf Coast residents with limited financial resources to resettle in their homes after Katrina. Helping boost independence and dignity, Mississippi Home Again assisted individuals and families by replacing their most fundamental, and often most costly, household essentials destroyed in the hurricane: typically hot water heaters, stoves, refrigerators and beds. In just two years, Mississippi Home Again provided over $2 million in appliances and furniture to returning Gulf Coast residents.

Hope Has A Face Foundation purchased a “Rolling Tool Chest” for Mississippi Home Again containing everything, from drills to nail guns and safety glasses to saw horses, necessary to tackle a wide variety of recovery projects. Equipped with such a trailer, the Americorps helped hundreds of residents fulfill their hopes of getting back in their houses.
