2theadvocate.com | News | Report: Help of nonprofits running dry — Baton Rouge, LA: "The nonprofit sector’s response to the 2005 hurricanes has been unprecedented, but, with money for volunteer services running low and “Katrina fatigue’’ running high across the nation, it is time for the government to take the ball and drive the recovery, a report released Monday stressed.

“The scale of the devastation is so vast in Louisiana and across the Mississippi Gulf Coast that only the government has the capacity to handle significant rebuilding,’’ the Public Affairs Research Council of Louisiana and the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government said in a joint report."
