LRA Housing Task Force Meeting Postponed Due to Hurricane Ida
NEW ORLEANS - The Louisiana Recovery Authority is canceling its Housing Task Force meeting scheduled for Monday, November 9 due to the potential effects of Hurricane Ida on Southeast Louisiana.
The task force had been scheduled to meet at the University of New Orleans to discuss rental housing in Louisiana. The LRA will reschedule the meeting in the coming weeks.
Created in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita in 2005, the Louisiana Recovery Authority (LRA) is the coordinating and planning body leading the most extensive rebuilding effort in American history. The central point for hurricane recovery in Louisiana, the LRA works closely with the Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (GOHSEP) and partners with state and federal agencies to oversee more than $20 billion worth of programs, speed the pace of rebuilding, remove hurdles and red tape and ensure that Louisiana recovers safer and stronger than before.
