In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Gulf Coast residents,
businesses and local governments banded together and adapted
in an unprecedented manner to meet the challenges left by Katrina.
With that same spirit of innovation, Hope Has A Face Foundation
(HHAFF) is applying a new model of streamlined funding of select
recovery, restoration and rebuilding projects. The key requirements
that must be present in all potential HHAFF projects are the
elements of speed and accountability.
Proposed projects must be structured in a way that allows them
to be undertaken rapidly after funding is secured and completed
within a timely manner, preferably within three to six months.
The preferred project profiles are those that impact multiple
individuals, families or community segments and have a high
visibility within the community. It is also intended to quickly
provide evidence of visible progress to returning residents,
community stakeholders and other donor organizations by applying
100% of project donations directly to the individual projects.
It is the intent of the Foundation that these highly visible
projects help build immediate momentum, traction and support
for the critical and more complex, longer term rebuilding efforts.
