Hurricane Katrina happened in 2005. Is there still a need in New Orleans?
Three years after Katrina and Rita ripped through the Gulf Coast, the reconstruction process in New Orleans and its surrounding parishes has demonstrated a persistent gap between services needed by citizens and services provided by all levels of government. In many areas, nonprofits and churches are providing many of the services for citizens. This partnership provides an opportunity for the CIPA academic community at Cornell University to use its unique resources and capabilities to help nonprofits meet this demand. CIPA fellows will analyze current practices, diagnose inadequacies, and propose solutions to the area’s problems.
