| Mississippi State University (MSU) will use its URAP-CD grant to provide planning and architectural services to rehabilitate damaged houses and build new houses to resettle the displaced residents in East Biloxi, Mississippi. The project includes an assessment and GIS mapping of the target neighborhoods to analyze and visualize the neighborhoods parcel by parcel; neighborhood meetings to engage the community in the planning process and to identify rehabilitation and construction needs; design of innovative housing rehabilitation strategies and new house construction plans; construction documents for nonprofit developers and builders; and continuing architectural services during construction.
MSU will be collaborating with a local, nonprofit organization, the Biloxi Relief, Recovery, and Revitalization Center.
