DONATE

The Preservation Resource Center has been revitalizing neighborhoods and rebuilding New Orleans for over three decades. After Katrina, our charge is even stronger. Thank you for donating today to help us restore the unique character of our city that is known and loved around the world.

Rebuilding Together

Since Katrina, Rebuilding Together has worked with thousands of volunteers to repair over seventy homes and has brought home over fifty homeowners and their families. With target efforts in five neighborhoods, we provide our services to low-income elderly and disabled homeowners, and first responders as well. Our goal, along with other Gulf Coast Rebuilding Together affiliates, is to rebuild 1,000 homes in the region devastated by Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

By supporting Rebuilding Together, you'll be helping our homeowners age in place, as well as revitalizing New Orleans' neighborhoods.

Hurricane Katrina Fund

Since the August 2005 hurricane, PRC staff and volunteers have served hundreds of New Orleans homeowners who have returned to the city and started reclaiming their homes. We offer resources such as free cleaning supplies, free informational seminars and visits by volunteer architects. The returning homeowners are key to the revival of our neighborhoods and economy. Your donation to the Hurricane Katrina Fund helps supports these crucial efforts and helps others recover from the storm.

Operating Comeback Revolving Fund

For nearly two decades, the PRC’s Operation Comeback has purchased distressed properties in targeted New Orleans’ neighborhoods, then renovated and sold them to homeowners. Our Comeback properties not only eliminate neighborhood blight and rescue architectural resources, but also stimulate a "ripple effect" that results in improvements to at least 10 properties for each property we renovate. Our work has been multiplied, as Hurricane Katrina damaged thousands of historic structure structures, many of which were in fair to good condition before the storm. A donation to the Operation Comeback Fund will help us buy and renovate damaged buildings in neighborhoods impacted by the storm.
