Following the generosity and support of our donors, Team Rubicon is extending capabilities and services into long-term recovery (LTR) for those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Over a 24-month timeline, Team Rubicon is initiating a long-term recovery in the Houston area to rebuild 100 homes affected by hurricane Harvey.
Houston’s Rebuild will be led by a unique partnership with SBP, Cohort 6 of the Clay Hunt Fellowship, and Team Rubicon volunteers. Learn more here.
