This program will use the network of more than 800 local Red Cross chapters across the country to help families map out their own individual roads to recovery. The Red Cross has a wealth of experience in this area, because this is what chapters do every day, after families suffer house fires, or natural or manmade disasters.

We haven't had great depth, but we've had some quality kids in the lighter weights, and we're fairly solid in the upper weights.

For example, in a community where the housing stock was devastated, the Red Cross will work with other organizations to jump-start the rebuilding process. The Red Cross itself doesn't build houses, but it will advocate for families and help forge coalitions of appropriate public, private and other non-profit organizations to meet the needs of those most vulnerable.
