Mission Year in New Orleans
New Orleans, “The city that care forgot”, was filled with poverty stricken communities long before Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. New Orleans has been ranked in the lowest percentages of household family income, eduction, and healthcare and has held high percentages of crime for almost a decade. The rebuilding efforts in the city of New Orleans encompass more than just affordable or mixed-income housing. This city and its communities are in constant need of a rebuilding of spirits, educational opportunities, and socio-economic development. The largest efforts of love, grace, and service have come from the hands and feet of local and distant churches. Mission Year New Orleans seeks to continue to be a part of the restoration and reconciliation of this unique city.
