Project Home Again (PHA) is a not-for-profit development arm that was created by the Riggio Foundation. Like many other Americans, Leonard and Louise Riggio were profoundly affected by the suffering and devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and sought to play a role in the rebuilding of New Orleans and help the hardworking people of the city return home. Through Project Home Again, the Riggio family will spend $20 million building homes for those families whose homes are uninhabitable or were completely destroyed during the storm. PHA will pilot its initiative in the Gentilly community by building 20 single-family homes, which will be energy efficient, raised above the minimum elevation guidelines, and will meet or exceed all new building code requirements.
