Description

In January 2016, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development awarded Louisiana $48,379,249 in Community Development Block Grant funds for the Isle de Jean Charles Resettlement. The grant was part of the state’s successful application to the National Disaster Resilience Competition.¹ With Resettlement funding in place, Louisiana can proceed with a structured and voluntary retreat from Isle de Jean Charles that is thoughtful and equitable, while maximizing opportunities for current and past island residents.
