Invest Now in building community with Habitat STW
  AUGUST/2008
Habitat St. Tammany West, is blessed to report that our office, Home Store and ReStore are now OPEN.
 
Our office and stores have electricity and our staff is in "after-the-storm clean-up mode."
 
Our staff members are safe: some are home, others are still on their way home; many have electricity, some do not. We are working and living day by day, as our local grocery stores re-stock their shelves and the power companies remove fallen trees and repair power lines.
Hurricane Relief

Habitat STW currently has 20 houses under contruction; some of these houses have sustained water damage and will need repairs.
