Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders (FCDR) was organized in 2005 as a project of Habitat for Humanity in response to Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, the group became organized as the disaster response section of the Fuller Center for Housing focused on rebuilding homes for low-income and at-risk populations. FCDR worked in Craven County to do immediate repairs necessary to return a home to be safe, secure, and functional. Homes were identified by the Craven County Disaster Recovery Alliance (CCDRA), the FEMA-designated long-term recovery group in Craven County. The CCDRA handled case management and worked with partners to address unmet needs. Funding awarded from the NC Hurricane Florence Relief Fund was used for construction materials, subcontractors, tools, and transportation of materials.
