| Overview
|
| Howard University will use its URAP-HBCU grant in partnership with Dillard University and the Franklin Avenue Church (in New Orleans) to address housing needs of low- to moderate-income (LMI) individuals in Treme, Mid-City, and Gentilly neighborhoods. This project will develop and implement two training programs in Environmentally Safe Renovation and Rehabilitation Work Practices (ESRRWP) for housing. One of the programs will be developed for residents and one for businesses. Each program will include a "train-the-trainer" component for Dillard Nursing faculty and staff to ensure program sustainability; provide subsidies of approximately $4,000 each for 25 housing units occupied by LMI individuals to implement environmentally safe rehabilitation work, with oversight from the project team; and provide GIS, analysis, and planning support for Dillard University as it participates in the rebuilding process of New Orleans, especially in three target New Orleans neighborhoods.
