Leading the way home, Beacon of Hope Resource Center provides a model for recovery in neighborhoods devastated by Hurricane Katrina, as well as other areas affected by disaster. Providing information and resources, encouraging civic action, and fostering repopulation form the foundation on which we build and grow.
