Make It Right homes in New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward. This area was one of the most devastated by the floods that accompanied Hurricane Katrina in 2005; more than 4,000 homes were destroyed, and a great many of the ward's residents have still not been able to return. The Common Ground Collective has been active since shortly after the floodwaters receded, with its volunteers working to first gut and then rebuild homes, and providing support to residents. The Make It Right project involves a campaign to build 150 sustainable and flood-resistant houses in the ward.
