What are the costs to refurbish a Katrina flooded home?
For a home flooded from 4 -8 feet with water and wind damage on the roof - the following costs are an average for a one story home which has no structural damage.

If your organization would like to adopt one or more homes - we would be glad to submit the names and stories for the individual families. Every victim here has a different story, different priorities, different specific needs. We would like you to "meet" our families and understand this disaster from their perspective.
