There was a nice little piece recently on New Orleans' NPR station about the work of local community development group New Orleans Neighborhood Housing Services.
The piece details the comprehensive approach NHS is taking to community development, extending beyond construction to home ownership counseling for renters and first time buyers as well as development of community centers in targeted neighborhoods.
Take a listen to the piece or read through the copy here. It's only three minutes long and will enrich our overall understanding of one of the many organizations working hard on the ground to provide the resources for New Orleans communities to rebuild themselves in sustainable ways.
