Eight New Orleans-based groups were among 17 organizations from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that recently were awarded grants from the Gulf Coast Fund for Community Renewal and Ecological Health that will be used to revitalize communities among the Gulf Coast in the wake of Huricanes Katrina and Rita. The $250,000 in grant money will be used to address issues such as housing and urban planning; needs of hurricane survivors and the diaspora; culture and arts; worker and day laborer rights; and environment, health and green rebuilding."
