NEW YORK–With the exception of losing a loved one, losing a home after a natural disaster is one of the most devastating events that can happen to a person.

Terry Scott is the 59-year-old director of construction for Rebuilding Together NYC, a national non-profit that provides workforce training programs, construction, and home renovations for low income families.
