[CPEO-BIF] New Orleans - "Race to Rebuild"

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

The Race to Rebuild: The Color of Opportunity and the Future of New 
Orleans.

Center for Social Inclusion
August 18, 2006


This report analyzes existing data on the progress of rebuilding New 
Orleans' communities. It also examines existing rebuilding policies to 
show that current policies are both insufficient to assist Black New 
Orleanians to return or rebuild their lives and that White New 
Orleanians would have improved opportunities if the federal government 
responds to their fellow New Orleanians structural barriers to return. 
The report gives grades to progress in indicators including housing, 
healthcare, education and utilities. The report includes a rebuilding 
report card, which will be updated monthly.
