A New Home for Nadine: Rebuilding After Harvey

For Nadine Ford, losing her home to Hurricane Harvey meant more than just losing a roof to sleep under. For months Nadine lived with various family members and slept in her car until she was able to secure funds to rent a place to live. When those funds came through from FEMA, Nadine was able to rent a motel, although within a short time the funds ran out and she was told she could no longer live there, either. With nowhere to go, Nadine, with the help of her daughter, reached out for help from Endeavors. That’s when things started to turn around. After a year and a half, Nadine would finally be able to return “home.” But it wouldn’t be the one she left as Harvey flooded its interior, it would be a brand new one, built from the ground up to replace the one that was a total loss.
