SBP's stated mission is to shrink the time between disaster and full recovery by ensuring that disaster-impacted citizens and communities recover in a prompt, efficient and predictable manner, reducing "construction time by 30 percent and costs by 10 to 15 percent."

The project recruits and trains volunteers, provides skilled site managers, provides health services, and coordinates fundraising. SBP also started a Center for Wellness and Mental Health that provided mental health services for citizens who are unable to pay for it elsewhere. As new disasters arise, SBP re-assesses to place offices in zones with greatest need, and each office has a corresponding executive director.By its fifth anniversary, the organization had expanded to include rebuilding efforts in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Joplin, Missouri, Columbia, South Carolina, New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, & Puerto Rico. The project has three distinct programs, all of which target the specific needs of different groups in the community: the Rebuilding Program, the Affordable Rental/First Time Homeowners Program, and the Veteran's Initiative.
