About SBP
SBP is a national nonprofit organization dedicated to helping communities shrink the time between disaster and recovery. We take a holistic approach to disasters by increasing readiness and resilience before they happen, and streamlining rebuilding and long-term recovery after.
Our work focuses on two key areas:
- Building the Way Home for Disaster Survivors: SBP serves the most vulnerable homeowners in communities impacted by major disasters through its Recovery Services, currently offered in eight states across the Gulf South.
- Building Readiness and Resilience Through Local Partnership: We support low-capacity, high-risk communities through Advisory Services, providing training, consulting, and organizational capacity-building through a team of subject-matter experts and Resilience Fellows.
Joining SBP is more than just joining a workforce; it is about contributing to a mission where you can enact real change and make a difference in the lives of people impacted by disasters.
