Beneficiaries
St. Bernard Parish is the only county in US history to ever be completely destroyed by a natural disaster. Each house of the 27,000 from before Katrina was destroyed by the floodwaters that sat for weeks in the city. This disaster has left the residents of this traditionally working class community, whose assets were tied up for the most part in their physical houses, in a desperate situation. SBP aims to help low to medium income clients, focusing on the elderly, the disabled and families with small children. SBP's clients are those who could not improve their situations without the help of a charitable organization.
