Disaster Housing Relief 501(c)3
A Project of Bodywise Foundation
Providing rent-free Tiny Homes and RV sites to folks who lost their homes in Hurricane Helene
Early in our relief efforts, we provided temporary housing in bell tents for families!
The first residents of our relief housing arrived with two dogs and a kitten they had found in the storm.
Early on we offered Bell Tent Temp housing to those who needed it most.
One of our amazing volunteers prepping the bell tents.
Another one of our amazing volunteers helping to prepare one of our structures by wiring it for electricity
Now we have sourced 6 tiny homes to provide rent-free housing to families displaced by Hurricane Helene
With your support, we can provide essential infrastructure, helping survivors of hurricanes and wildfires focus on recovery and rebuilding their lives!
We are using heavy machinery to prepare roads and home sites on our land and are building the infrastructure to supply water and power to these homes. Already, we’ve accepted several families displaced by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters and plan to take in more as our tiny home project grows.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, families in Western North Carolina have lost everything. Many are now facing the harsh reality of being without shelter, safety, and security.
Winter is Here. With freezing temperatures the urgency to provide stable housing is more critical than ever. In fact have frozen to death in tents. We must act now.
