Sankofa and the Lower Ninth Ward

Zusammenfassung des Berichts: The people of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward are strongly rooted in their community. They are resilient, proud of their community, and eager to continue to rebuild the neighborhood into a community that honors its past while looking toward the future. Sankofa Community Development Corporation, actively supporting community members’ health and wellbeing in the neighborhood since 2008, is looking to the future, too, with an eye toward expanding its services to better support community development, climate resilience, and economic vitality across the Lower Ninth Ward. This Technical Assistance Panel report features guidance for the CDC and the community to meet those goals.
