SBP is a national social impact organization dedicated to empowering communities to shrink the time between disaster and recovery by rebuilding homes, increasing preparedness and resilience, and improving systems to serve the needs of all Americans better. We take a holistic approach to combating natural disasters—increasing the readiness and resilience of communities before they happen and streamlining rebuilding and recovery after. SBP started months after Hurricane Katrina. Liz McCartney, a teacher, and Zack Rosenburg, a lawyer, left their homes in Washington, D.C., to volunteer to support the recovery effort in New Orleans. In March 2006, they co-founded SBP in the St. Bernard Parish southeast of New Orleans, where Katrina left 68,000 people homeless. Since those early years, hundreds of thousands of generous volunteers, AmeriCorps members, investors, donors, and tireless employees have helped SBP become a national disaster resilience and recovery leader. Utilizing the Toyota Production System and trained AmeriCorps members, SBP has rebuilt homes for more than 6,300+ families with the help of 150,000 volunteers in 14 communities across the U.S. and the Bahamas since 2006.
