Dave Matthews Band has announced that it has issued a $1.5 million challenge grant to help build the New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village. The Village is a Habitat For Humanity project that seeks to build more than 300 homes in the city’s Upper Ninth Ward with musicians and other New Orleanians who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina. The Village will consist of homes as well as the Ellis Marsalis Center For Music, named after the modern Jazz pioneer and New Orleans native. "This is our way to get the word out that there is more work to do, and ask people to step up to the challenge and make a donation to help," said DMB in a statement. The contributions will be matched dollar-for-dollar through the grant, raising the total donation potential to $3 million.

The band will take a day off from touring in New Orleans next week to team with Habitat and help rebuild homes, according to MTV.com. Singer Brent Smith recently wrote "New Orleans" on the front of his shirt for two national television performances to remind people that work still needs to be done in the city.
