Mission & Focus Areas
SBP’s stated mission is to help communities reduce the time between disasters and recovery by rebuilding homes, increasing resilience, and improving policies to better serve survivors.
Its rebuilding program prioritizes disaster survivors with limited incomes, including people who are underinsured or uninsured. Its Opportunity Housing program builds affordable homes for sale or rent for low- to moderate-income families. SBP also provides technical assistance, training, and capacity-strengthening support to local nonprofit and government partners working on recovery, mitigation, and resilience.
Through its SHARE program, SBP offers qualifying nonprofit partners funding, training, and technical assistance for recovery work. The 2024 grants include organizations with varied missions. For example, Hawaii Community Lending says its mission is to increase access to capital for Native Hawaiians in Hawaii; Healthy Gulf describes work with Gulf communities through research, communications, and coalition-building; and The Restoration Team describes providing no-cost critical home repairs to low-income Houston families.

In 2024, SBP reported 25 grants totaling $2,085,250. Awards ranged from $6,000 to $480,000, with a median grant of $75,000. The stated purpose for the largest 2024 grants was home repair or building for economically disadvantaged people.
