N.O. woman blasts 'code word' for poor

BELLE CHASSE — A discussion about not duplicating preKatrina “concentrations of poverty” when New Orleans’ ravaged rental stock is rebuilt raised the temperature Thursday during a Louisiana Recovery Authority mmeeting.While
authority members and authority Executive Director Andy KKopplinwere discussing two “Road Home” rental housing programs and an accompanying objective of not replicating what a Road Home handout called “prestorm excessive concentrations of poverty,” New OrleanianElizabeth Cook sprang to her feet and gave the board an eearful. Cook who lives in the city’s Bywaterarea, yelled out from the audience at the Belle ChasseAuditorium. She said not repeating concentrations of poverty is a “code word” for keeping New Orleans’ displaced poor from returning to the ccity.Norman
Francis, authority chairman and president of Xavier University of New Orleans, cut Cook off but said she would be allowed to speak to the board once it wrapped up its discussion. When that time came, Cook sat at a table in front of the board and described the rental housing program as “so unfair.”
“What you’re saying is certain people can’t come home. Let’s be honest here. It’s shameful,” she said. “What you’re saying is concentration of poverty is a crime. It’s OK for the rich to live in concentrations. The working poor need somewhere to live, too. People need somewhere to come home. You’re not fighting for the people.”
Francis took exception to her remarks.
“We’re trying to get everybody home under quality conditions and under conditions that everyone can afford,” he ssaid.Authority member and state Sen. Diana Bajoie D-New Orleans, said during the meeting that the authority program is a “good one” but added, “We can’t close all the housing developments and expect everyone to come home.”
In a report issued last week, the New Orleans-based Bureau of Governmental Research — a nonprofit, independent research group — raised concerns about the Road Home rental housing program, warning it would “create new problems and exacerbate existing weaknesses in the city.”
The bureau said the rental program harnesses $1.7 billion of Gulf Opportunity Zone low income housing tax credits and $1.6 billion of Community Development Block Grants for the construction or rehabilitation of rental housing. It earmarks $869 million of block grant funds for repair of small rental properties willing to accept rent restrictions for periods of three to 20 years. It layers the balance of block grant funds on the tax credits to produce rental housing for work force and low-income hhouseholds.The
The program, as conceived, would have provided housing for low-income households in the context of classic mixed income development, which combine low income subsidized housing with market rate housing, the bureau said but under a revised plan, the group said, the bulk of the units for low-income households would be incorporated instead into 100 percent low-income housing tax credit developments.
