Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project May 11 - 16, 2008!
Volunteer with New Orleans Habitat and former U.S. President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.   Since 1984, the Carters have led thousand of volunteers to help build Habitat houses across the globe.  Join us in New Orleans to Blitz Build seven homes, frame and dry-in 20 homes and dedicate up to 25 more.  This unbelievable weeklong experience will make a lasting impact on the still recovering Upper 9th Ward neighborhood of New Orleans.  

25th Anniversary In 2008, NOAHH will be celebrating 25 years of building in metro New Orleans. In the past 25 years, over 200 families have benefitted from NOAHH's affordable home-construction program; 101 of these families have received homes since Hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Gulf Coast.  Join NOAHH in our year-long celebration by volunteering or donating to help more families realize their dream of home ownership.
