What is Acorn Housing?
Three years after Katrina, still fighting and winning Hurricane Katrina’s winds had hardly subsided before ACORN began organizing New Orleaneans to rebuild their beloved city on their own terms. Today, ACORN’s national headquarters in New Orleans houses more staffers than ever and ACORN members are fighting to ensure the city’s recovery. Though thousands of Katrina survivors are still displaced, the last year has seen a series of significant wins for ACORN in New Orleans and the struggle continues to fully resurrect the Crescent City.
