Homeowners who either had insurance, qualified for an SBA loan, or received FEMA money do not qualify as an MDS project. The problem for many homeowners is that these monies received are not enough to complete their projects.

Local leadership at Inglesia Amor Viviente - New Orleans has been and continues to do case work for every project. Volunteer teams and additional money from the church's Donation Fund will be assigned for each project. Home owners will be blessed to have their homes completed and their families back together in their homes.

Here are some typical home projects of members of Amor Viviente - New Orleans:

House #1 - House #2 and 3 - House #4 - House #5 - House #6 - House #7 - House #8
House #9 - House #10 - House #11 - House #12 - House #13 - House #14

House # 4
Broken concrete has been dumped in the back yard. The yard needs to be filled with dirt, also needs a new driveway, ( huge tree in front of his house fell down and the tree's deep and huge roots lifted the concrete on the driveway. Needs to replace broken fence. The owner of this home has already reached the end of his budget, his house was been leveled as a mandatory regulation, which turned to be very expensive. He has no money left to finish his projects and the city will not allow him to move into his home if the driveway is not completed. This man, his wife, and two children stayed during the storm. They lived in the house for 3 or 4 days with 4 feet of water in the house, and went through very difficult and hard situations during their stay. He is on disability due to a serious illness, but with the strength of the Lord he has managed to rebuild his house acting as a contractor himself.

House # 5
Needs help with the exterior paint of the house. The house in elevated, and she also needs help clearing the debris underneath the house. The owner is a 55 year old widow, her homeowners insurance only paid her $275.00, she was able to obtain money from her flood insurance which she used to pay off the total balance of her mortgage (her mortgage company required her to pay them). She had to apply for a loan with the SBA in order to begin repairs to her home. If less money is borrowed to complete the repairs, her monthly payments will be lower. This will be a blessing to her, since her husband died two years ago and she lives on a limited income.
