This is our house

And these are the people who are moving it toward being a home again.
Rev. Malcolm Collins owns this house. He has donated it to a team of "Missioneers" who will move in in September to provide a presence in the neighbourhood. They will share the duplex with another family. The more people who move in the more encouragement it will be to others to "come home". Eighteen months after the levee broke and this neighbourhood, the Lower Ninth Ward, was flooded, maybe 5% of the homes are occupied or within a few weeks of being ready for someone to move in. They are hoping that things will be back to normal within 10 years. The water level here reached to the street number.
