Fargo, N.D. Builders Provide Hurricane Relief to Gulf Coast

The Home Builders Association of Fargo-Moorhead and its builders in North Dakota have provided more than $28,000 in hurricane relief to builders and communities in the Gulf Coast region earlier this month.

Late last year, the association donated $25,000 to its Home Builders Care of Fargo-Moorhead Foundation (HBC) for hurricane relief. In addition, its individual members donated another $3,500 to the fund.

The funds were sent to the Gulf Coast region this month to be distributed in the following ways:

• $7,000 was sent to NAHB’s Home Building Industry Disaster Relief Fund.

• More than $21,500 was divided among four home builders associations that were greatly affected by the hurricanes so they could continue their operations and help their members recover:
  
  
  • Southeast Mississippi Home Builders Association
  • Home Builders Association of Southwest Louisiana
  • Home Builders Association of the Mississippi Coast
  • Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans

These associations were asked to use the funds to continue operations to help them and their members recover.
