Rebuild One Block: Fools Gold, Mad Decent and OWSLA have come together with Architecture for Humanity

Fools Gold, Mad Decent and OWSLA have come together with Architecture for Humanity to help people in need. They want you to help rebuild one block and repair homes of first responders affected by Hurricane Sandy. The response is two-fold - to give "rapid construction grants" to vetted grassroots groups who get it done and rebuild later. They are collecting funds that will be split 20/80 between temporary support and long term reconstruction.

Small Rapid Repair Grants (20)

They don't want to just repair a home we want to build a resilient home that can respond to future storms.However winter is coming and more people will die unless YOU help them get heat and power.

They are partnerd with a number of groups that are doing on the ground triage. They will give them small construction grants to get families back in homes. These are all grassroots organizations that are boots on the ground - get. it. done. - groups.

These include NY Says Thank You, Friends of Firefighters, Occupy Sandy, Rockaway Beach Surf Club, Team Rubicon, Hope Mob and Waves for Water.

Rebuild One Block (80)

Based on the highly successful Architecture for Humanity Biloxi Model Home project* after Hurricane Katrina they will identify and build an entire block of homes for first responders. They have been talking to local first responders who lost their homes and focusing on getting them back. They will design with the families, build with the families and make sure that each family gets the home they deserve. Let's build back better for the families that need it most - the first responders who are there for us when we need it most.
