Rebuilding
Together.
Chances are, this is your first disaster. It’s not ours. We know it’s hard to rebuild and recover. But we’re here to help. Some of us come from your community. We were hit by the very same storm. Some of us have experienced disasters in other Michigan communities, and we know about recovery. We are teachers and engineers and artists and experts in construction. We have one thing in common: we care. We’re here to help you rebuild. After the Storm.
Our case managers are carefully trained using a proven model for disaster recovery. Our goal is to help you to achieve your goals for recovery. After the lights and sirens are gone and the initial cleanup is over, our work ramps up. We rebuild, remediate, clear debris, connect people with local resources, assist with utilities and furnishings, and so much more. Look to see if After the Storm is working in your area.
In March of 2026, Southeast Michigan was devastated by multiple tornadoes and high winds. Our team is actively supporting those survivors and families by connecting them to resources and programs to restore their homes and lives.
Real Lives, Real Impact.
This work goes beyond numbers and metrics. We work to directly serve individuals through the mental and spiritual rebuilding that takes place after a traumatic experience such as a natural disaster.
We Guide
Resource Matching
Disaster recovery is often full of heavy legal jargon and tedious application processes. We assist survivors in understanding eligibility requirements and successfully apply for local, county, and state assistance programs. Even if we aren’t the direct agent providing the service or support, we have built a coalition of partners to meet you where you are at.
We Connect
Renewal beyond structure
We provide whole-home renewal beyond just the structural restoration of a home. Projects for major and minor home repairs that are needed after a disaster impacts a family. We have experts from mold remediation to mental health support to execute projects and care within our team of volunteers and approved contractors.
You Recover
Case Management
We provide personalized case management to each family. This includes an intake process to not only identify the need but to bridge the gap for survivors. Understanding that disaster relief and recovery are not one-size-fits-all, and listening to each story to get it right.
