Project Bring 50 School Children Home Again (through Doorways of Northwest Florida)
Amount Requested $100,000
Amount Raised $1,000
Narrative on activities for this project:
Rebuild Bay continues to assist Bay County residents return to a permanent living situation. Although there has been a significant slow down in home repair activities due to a decrease in volunteer-based nonprofit building capabilities, the organization has been able to assist residents who were previously renting. One such resident whose rental unit was destroyed was assisted in moving from their FEMA trailer to their permanent home and provided with furniture and other home essentials for the household.
Since the start of the summer, nearly 140 households have been assisted, including more than 100 school-aged children. The need, however, is still great. There are hundreds more households that continue to be in various stages of recovery. With job losses and layoffs rampant due to COVID-19 responses, residents that were trying to manage their own recovery now find themselves needing additional assistance. Your continued support is desperately needed to ensure we can continue helping those that have been struggling to get into a permanent home for almost two years now.
