SBP is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities shrink the time between disaster and recovery by rebuilding homes, increasing resilience, and improving policies to better serve the needs of all Americans.
SBP 在卡特里娜颶風後的幾個月里開始。教師利茲·麥卡特尼(Liz McCartney)和律師紮克·羅森伯格(Zack Rosenburg)離開了他們在華盛頓特區的家,自願支援新奧爾良的恢復工作。2006年3月,他們在新奧爾良東南部的聖伯納德教區共同創立了SBP,卡特里娜颶風使68,000人無家可歸,處於崩潰的邊緣。新奧爾良的一些社區沒有遭受大洪水,但聖伯納德教區幾乎完全被淹沒。
Since those early years, hundreds of thousands of generous volunteers, AmeriCorps members, investors, donors, and tireless employees have helped SBP become a national leader in disaster resilience and recovery. Utilizing the Toyota Production System and trained AmeriCorps members, SBP has rebuilt homes for more than 6,700 families with the help of 151,400 volunteers in 16 communities across the U.S. and The Bahamas since 2006.
