Phoenix of New Orleans is a small, nonprofit construction-focused organization dedicated to rebuilding and recovery efforts in New Orleans. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, it operates as a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit and concentrates its projects in the Lower Mid-City district, with work extending beyond that area as needed. The organization mobilizes volunteers to gut, rebuild, and restore homes and community spaces, providing labor and support to homeowners and community assets, such as churches, schools, and parks, over its years of operation. Since its founding by a Tulane medical student in response to hurricane-related devastation, PNOLA has accumulated thousands of volunteer hours and completed numerous rebuilding projects, with the aim of increasing neighborhood resilience and service capacity for disaster-impacted residents. The organization serves residents and communities affected by disasters, leveraging volunteer networks and partnerships to restore housing, public spaces, and community infrastructure.
