Over 2.5 million volunteer hours have made it possible for New Orleans Area Habitat to build over 400 homes since the failure of the levees and floodwalls in 2005. The power of our volunteers goes well beyond the act of home construction. The selfless volunteer time put in by people from across the globe, quite honestly, changes the lives for the families served. As you see through the partnership life-span of a NOAHH Partner family you see what your volunteer hours and charitable gifts support; you'll see it’s more than just a home.
