WESTWEGO - A Westwego family learned Thursday that in seven days they will have a new home built by the crew of “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,” an ABC TV show that features Ty Pennington.

The new home is for Brad and Laura Usea, whose home was first ravaged by Hurricane Katrina and then damaged further when tornadoes swept through Westwego in February 2007.

After Katrina, the Useas took in Brad’s mother, whose home was destroyed, and his two brothers, Chris and Chad.

The February 2007 tornadoes destroyed a trailer that Chris had been living in in Brad and Laura’s backyard. That night, Brad and Chad, both volunteer firefighters, helped rescue of their family and neighbors.

The Useas have continued to live in a cramped, single-family home.

Asheville, N.C.-based Deltec Homes and a team of builders from across the country will build three homes on the lot where Brad and Laura’s current home stands to house Brad’s family. The address is 617 11th St.

St. Bernard Parish-based Barker Homes is teaming with Deltec to build the home.

Deltec says it produces wind-resistant structures.

“We have never lost a home to high wind," said Joseph Schlenk of Deltec Homes. “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our 40th year in business than providing a home for these worthy heroes and their families. Citizens like Brad and Chad are what make this country great. Without hesitation or consideration for their own safety they set out in the darkest and most difficult times to help their neighbors. We are proud to be part of this project."

The seven-day build is the show’s last stop on a 50-state tour and will wrap up the show’s season.

The Westwego build will end on March 14, and the two-hour episode will air on May 18.
