Between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008, Committee for Plaquemines Recovery (CPR) proposes to construct a minimum of seventeen (17) new homes for residents of the parish, who would otherwise be unable to have safe, secure, sanitary, and functional housing as a result of their loss. This goal is in addition to the funded rebuild projects already in process, which are managed by the limited, existing rebuild organizations working in the parish.

Volunteer work crews are needed to carry out this rebuilding initiative. CPR is recruiting from a network of service groups, particularly from churches and other faith-based organizations. Each crew will be led by a crew leader. Housing plans have been secured and foundations are being poured.

CPR has three bunk houses (each can accommodate up to 24 workers) to house volunteers. In addition, several churches have housing accommodations for volunteers. This will eliminate the daily travel time for volunteer crews to go from the volunteer housing to the work sites. The average cost charged to volunteers or their organizations would be $20/week per person. Volunteers will also be responsible for their own meals; however an equipped kitchen is available for cooking.
