Allison Arieff Checks In On Rebuilding Progress in Biloxi

We said you’d be seeing Allison Arieff lots more in the pages of the NY Times, and today she’s got a piece about the home-building recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina. “Design Steps Up in Disaster’s Wake” talks about the Biloxi-based approach by Architecture for Humanity, the Biloxi Model Home Program.

The program went above and beyond other efforts by establishing a loan fund, a board to identify the neediest families and a crew of surveyors to go door-to-door, documenting every property in eastern Biloxi.
