2005 - Habitat for Humanity "Operation Home Delivery"

2005

Volunteers work on a Habitat for Humanity project. he City of Burbank joined Habitat for Humanity for "Operation Home Delivery," a three-phase response to help provide assistance and rebuilding opportunities in New Orleans and elsewhere along the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The third phase established the "home in a box project" in which volunteers in communities all over the country worked with building specialists to "pre-build" the frame of a home over a few days. The house was tacked together to ensure a rock-solid fit, then the frame taken apart and the components placed, along with other necessary construction materials, in a container and shipped to an area along the Gulf Coast or New Orleans where families, volunteers and builders rebuilt the home. The homes pre-built in Burbank were constructed on an empty lot between West Alameda Avenue and West Olive Avenue.
