cat_notes: OLD NOTE LTel 2/13/08: via email, 11/07: We have been very busy with volunteers who are returning to the gulf to help us rebuild homes. We are rebuilding our website (www:projecthomecoming) to direct volunteers to reconsider a New Orleans mission trip. We are also expanding our appeal to the Rita affected areas to the west of our city (Rita was a more severe category than Katrina only without the floods). We maintain about 20-30 work sites (homes) that we use our construction managers to direct the volunteers at each home according to work needed in preparation for inspections. We have our own skill evaluation form which lets volunteer tell us skill and skill level so we can place at the home needing that particular work. Our coordination is easy. Rather than worry about where to stay, one phone call to us can direct to one of our 8 facilities that house. These locations have showers, beds or cots, and kitchens. Then when we have taken care of reservations one of our site coordinators will put the team leader onto the home needing work. Our key work coordinator is Susan Wade at 504- 942 0444 or susan@pslrecovery.org So your volunteers can just contact us directly with when they would like to come down, contact email (for skill assessment form and housing confirmation) and size of group. Richard Maag Project Homecoming, the rebuilding effort of The Presbytery of South Louisiana Project Homecoming is the rebuilding effort of The Presbytery of South Louisiana and is currently working on 28 homes that are in various stages of completion. Our staff includes long term (10 month) volunteers via AmeriCorps and three construction specialists that assist in coaching the volunteers that come here in many stages of non-technical building.(Sheet rock, paint, window installation, etc) The construction specialists are not licensed tradesmen but skilled in the practical sense. The Project Homecoming funds supply the materials, we have the tools we would love to have help-specially if they are somewhat skilled. We do have housing available and a great city to fall in love with as well. I look forward to hearing your ideas on how we can work together Richard Maag Staff member richard@pslrecovery.org -> OLD NOTE LTel 2/13/08: via email, 11/07: We have been very busy with volunteers who are returning to the gulf to help us rebuild homes.
