Project Report | Jun 15, 2019
Supporting local businesses through recovery work.

By Ryan West | Foundation Administrator

St. John's Cutting Edge Construction working hard.

When you donate to the Resilient Housing Initiative, you're not only helping us put St. John's most vulnerable residents back in their homes--You're also supporting St. John's economy.

At Love City Strong, one of the key elements of RHI, and ALL of our programs, is that we employ St. John residents and work with St. John businesses to get the job done. Supporting the economy by putting recovery and resilience work in the hands of those who live on St. John is an important initiative of our organization.

We are proud to partner with Cutting Edge Construction, Blue Bay Construction, J&D Woodworking, Heidi Arnold Design, and dozens of other St. John businesses to help rebuild homes belonging to some of the island's most vulnerable residents.

Whether it's helping us deliver building materials from barges to our construction yard, installing brand new water filters on homes, hauling out construction debris, or performing data entry in our office, we are so fortunate to work with so many hard working individuals and businesses right here in the community.

There is so much talent and skill in the VI that deserves to be recognized and celebrated! Thank you to the many donors and supporters of LCS who continue to help us make an impact.

The crews are hard at work on 12 different sites.

Donated furniture is placed by LCS team members.
