GULFPORT, MS?A newly formed non-profit, Finish the Job, is seeking financial support from private and corporate donors nationwide in a grass-roots attempt to place all of Mississippi's Katrina survivors in safe, secure homes of their own. Fostered by area long term recovery organizations, Finish the Job seeks to generate a new funding resource for Mississippians who may otherwise be left without help as donated funds from national agencies begin to run low. Tens of thousands of families still need help as they continue living in cramped travel trailers or damaged structures while the second anniversary of Hurricane Katrina approaches. "This is a way we can help our neighbors, even if some sources of funding are running out," said Michelle Wilson, executive director of Rebuild Jackson County. Finish the Job was established as a fund of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. United Way, many faith-based agencies, and individuals from several national relief organizations are also supporting the effort. Asking every American to give $1 is Finish the Job's simple approach to raising the millions necessary to continue the recovery effort. Rebuilding from a storm of Katrina's magnitude is predicted to take at least five years. Both home owners and renters will be eligible for Finish the Job assistance. The grass-roots fund raising effort is drawing enthusiastic support from volunteers, representing agencies from the Mississippi coast to the state capital, who are giving their talents and time to planning the project. Finish the Job fund will be promoted nationwide. -> Finish the Job Video 12/07: via email from Brian Rivers: After countless hours of hard work by all those involved, we have completed the video with the help of our partnering agencies.

Can you just give me a quick update on where these projects are? Maybe they are just where they were last month when you gave me the data. Either way, I wanted to check. Also, your group...it's faith-based, right? We're going to start tracking that, because some vol groups are looking to go with faith-based crews. If you're county/city or other government sponsored, I want to track that, too, cuz some groups only want to work with government sponsored crews. Also, if any projects are "historic". We'll have a new tracking sheet ready soon. Please give me an up to date status on these. And...If these two projects are done, can you give me a couple more to list? so I can keep your database record current? 1. Woodmont St. Project, In Process MS Pascagoula Open Sponsoring Agency: Rebuild Jackson County, Project Manager: Brian Rivers 228-218-6025 Notes: This home has been completely gutted. The client needs insulation, sheetrock, flooring and ceiling board installed in the home. Material will be provided by agency. This client was a police officer at the time of the storm and was injured on duty while serving the community. Client is still on inactive status with the P.D. Client has separated from finance' due to confined spaces in the FEMA travel trailer and now has to live separate from his children. 2. Elder Ferry Project, In Process MS Moss Point Open Sponsoring Agency: Rebuild Jackson County, Project Manager: Brian Rivers 228-218-6025 Notes: This project will require the home to be gutted, then repaired. The roof has been repaired and the subfloor leveled. This project must be completed by volunteers as there is insufficient funds available to use contractors. There is basic work to be done in the home, flooring, insulation, windows, and door frames. Material will be provided by agency. This client has been in a FEMA travel trailer for 2 plus years. The client's health has deteriorated greatly since we started with the client and the home is going to have to be handicap accessible. It is a small home. -> Not clear how many orgs Brian runs.
